Parish priest in Kurdejov destroyed ‘symbols of Satanic holiday’ for children, BBC reports
It was supposed to be fun for children, bringing light into the autumn evenings. However, the placement of hollowed-out pumpkins with candles in the park near the rectory frightened the parish priest, so he destroyed them. The people of Kurdějov were very angered by his action. The cleric’s defense is that he must protect children and families from hidden spiritual evils. His act has made it to the pages of the British public broadcaster BBC.
