Ten years ago, Argentina went through a severe sovereign debt crisis not unlike the one being witnessed now elsewhere. This week, in protests to mark that occasion, what did protesters attack? A Christmas tree and... the nativity scene next to it.
This is it, burning, in the iconic Plaza de Mayo of Buenos Aires, right in front of the Metropolitan Cathedral, on Dec. 20, 2011 - months after similar destructions of images in Europe, including in Rome itself.
Baby Jesus in flames: the symbol of our age. Who will make reparation for this?
