Church Fire Blamed On Satanic Cult

A church was set on fire early Sunday near the Belarusian capital, and church leaders blamed a Satanic cult.

Writing on the church walls in Zaslavl, 20 miles northwest of Minsk, proclaimed “Death to Christians,” according to Belarus’ Patriarch Filaret. The extent of the damage was unclear.

Last summer, slogans glorifying Satan were painted on the walls of the main Orthodox cathedral in Minsk.
