In Brussels stole Christmas statue of Jesus Christ. The figure was in a festive day in the city centre.

According to reports, the small figure of Christ was abducted by unknown attackers, broken also and the cradle in which she was. At the present time, the problem is resolved. Employees of the Belgian police are seeking vandals.

A similar incident took place three years ago. Then the local police have detained three guys who destroyed the crib and stole the figure of Christ.

The tradition to install before Christmas the manger with figurines of Mary Magdalene, Jesus Christ and the shepherds appeared in the Middle ages in Western Europe. It is considered a kind of sculptural embodiment of the history of the Bible about the divine baby, whose first crib was a feeding trough for birds.
