Woman killed by falling cross

Thursday, September 23, 2004 Posted: 1252 GMT (2052 HKT)


ROME, Italy (Reuters) -- A 67-year-old woman was killed when a three-meter (10-foot) tall metal crucifix fell on her head in a small southern Italian town on Wednesday, police said.

The cross, which has been in the main square on Sant'Onofrio for decades, fell on Maddalena Camillo while workers were setting up lights for an annual religious festival.

Italy, home to the Vatican City, is a predominantly Roman Catholic country where crucifixes and religious icons and effigies are a common sight in most towns and villages.

So does Gaea-ism. Go look at the "How unlucky do you have to be" thread....

That's what those damn Catholics get for worshiping "false idols".
