ST. JOSEPH, Minn. (WCCO) — In this season of giving, someone has taken part of the nativity scene from a Minnesota church.
Mary and Joseph are among the figures stolen from a display outside the Church of St. Joseph, located in the town of St. Joseph.
The church is led by Father Jerome Tupa, who says the manger’s appearance signals the beginning of the advent season, placed near the intersection of Main and Minnesota Streets.
“Everybody when they would drive to that crossroads would see it,” Father Jerome said.
But in the cover of night last Thursday, pieces of the display began to disappear.
