Greek Police Rescue Virgin Mary

Police in Greece have recovered a 700 year old icon of the Virgin Mary that was stolen a month ago from a monastery. The icon depicting Jesus being cradled by Mary was found in the southern town of Peloponnese where a Romanian thief had hidden it behind a wall. The robbery was one of the more elaborate ones to be pulled off in recent history with the thief having to go through the trouble of scaling the cliff-side monastery, with professional climbing equipment then crawling across the sanctuary's roof, breaking a church window before they were able to steal the 14th-century icon. The arrest capped off a five week investigation by both Romanian and Greek police.
