Gross assault against a church in Varna.

A man threw a Molotov cocktail on the facade of the church of St. Procopius of Varna.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but the vandalism caused a wave of reactions.

The vandalism was committed at 02:00 a.m., and a camera of a store next to the temple captured what was done.

The neighbors immediately called the police.

"We reacted immediately, an inspection of the accident site was carried out.

A pre-trial proceeding has been initiated under conditions of urgency and we are currently looking for the possible perpetrator", explained senior commissioner Atanas Mihov, director of the Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior-Varna, Nova TV reported.

The motives of the act still remain unclear, but everything narrowly avoided more serious consequences, since the bottle with the flammable liquid did not end up in the church building.

Pending the arrest of the perpetrator, the reaction of the church was not long in coming.

"When a person darkens the image of God in himself with his deeds, anything can happen.

Such an action reminds one of a proverb that says "Simplicity is worse than theft.

This person, if he is listening to us right now, let him do something good, something different from what he has done now," said Metropolitan John of Varna and Greater Preslav.

The investigation into the case continues.
