Fury as Brits destroy sacred Spanish nativity scene after climbing on Baby Jesus - Express

Two British tourists have sparked fury after they destroyed a sacred nativity scene in Spain. The pair climbed over a statue of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus in the centre of Jerez de la Frontera, in Cadiz.

Spanish locals have been left outraged by the incident, with the men being branded "puto ingleses" - which translates to "f***ing English" - as they screamed at them to "get out".

An investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the alleged vandalism, with city council officials confirming that the model of the Baby Jesus was ruined and now needs replacing.

Video footage of the incident shows three locals rushing over to the display calling on the tourists to move away.

One of the Britons then claims "I’m Christian, I’m Christian" while mocking a praying gesture.

Eventually, the pair climb down from the stage before climbing back over the fence that was put in place to stop people accessing the scene from the Nativity.

A police car is seen pulling up to the scene as an office approaches the two tourists.

It is unclear if the pair were arrested. In December, the Monumental Nativity Scene is set up in front of the church where the Three Wise Men parade culminates on January 5.

But the scene has been targeted numerous times in the past, with vandals destroying parts of the set up.

Residents were said to have found the statue of Baby Jesus on the morning of December 1, before seeing the footage of the two British men vandalising the scene.

The statue had been "smashed to bits" and was left in the middle of the street. The police officer was said to have shouted at the two men.

This follows a similar incident in 2018 where several of the Nativity figures had clay pots put on their heads, while another smashed figurine was found in 2014.

Back in 2019, vandals broke the arms and legs off the statues of Baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
