Its absence was discovered on Saturday, May 28.
While its estimated worth is high, church leaders say the tabernacle is mainly irreplaceable because of its historical and artistic value. Property damage was reported, too. The angels that flanked the relic were decapitated and destroyed.

They then cut their way through a metal protective casing to remove the tabernacle.
