BOSTON — The Boston Police and Fire departments are investigating an arson at a Boston church after a Virgin Mary statue was set on fire.
Police responded at about 10 p.m. Saturday to a report of a fire near Saint Peter Parish.
Upon arrival, officers saw that a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary had been set on fire.
Police spoke with Boston firefighters, who said that an unknown suspect had set fire to plastic flowers, which were in the hands of the statue, causing the face and upper body of the statue to be burned.
"I was shocked. (There's) disappointment, sadness," said Fr. John Curran, the pastor of Saint Peter Parish. "The image of Our Lady is so important for us and our faith. It's such a contradiction to her love. Mary would never desecrate anyone, never hurt anyone, only offer them the peace and love of Jesus. I think that's where it really hits us in our hearts."
A Boston firefighter, who said he was among those who responded to the fire, shared a photo of the burned statue with sister station WCVB-TV.
The Blessed Virgin Mary statue was placed outside Saint Peter Parish just after the end of World War II to welcome back soldiers who were returning there.
On Sunday, neighbors replaced the flowers at the statue that were burned in the fire.

Well, she was white. It was just a matter of time when white men wouldn't be enough.

Setting the Virgin Mary on fire in Boston? Don't be surprised if some bodies show up in the Charles River, there are some places you can get away with defacing religious figures, Boston isn't one of them.

Since the abuse scandal Boston isn’t what it was.

I haven't been in years, but I hope there's still some believers.

They hate Catholics. Pure scum. There is a special spot in hell for those who desecrate the Blessed Virgin.

Are dems still making the proclamation that this is just about the confederates? It’s about eradicating western culture and everything America. Christianity, American flags, pledge of allegiance...they want it all gone.

That is a hate crime against religion, and all involved should be imprisoned. If you don’t like the statue, just don’t look at it! It’s a woman in quiet prayer, for crying out loud.
