Sakrileg! Raub heiliger Reliquien (Liborius, Ludger und Maternus) aus dem Essener Dom.

30. Juni 2008
Einbruch in den Essener Dom

Unbekannte stahlen Reliquienkästchen aus dem Altar


Vermutlich nach dem Gottesdienst wurde am Sonntagabend, 29. Juni 2008, (ab 20:00 Uhr) aus dem Dom in der Essener Innenstadt ein Reliquienkästchen gestohlen.

Das auf der Oberfläche mit Edelsteinen (Rauchtopas, Amethyste und Bergkristall) sowie kleinen Goldkugeln verzierte Behältnis wurde hinter einem Bronzegitter im Hauptaltar aufbewahrt. Ein oder mehrere Täter brachen das Gitter auf und entnahmen das Elfenbeinkästchen mit den Reliquien der Bischöfe und Bistumspatrone Maternus (Köln), Liborius (Paderborn) und Liudger (Münster).

Da keinerlei Aufbruchspuren an den Kirchentüren festzustellen waren, ist davon auszugehen, dass der Diebstahl vor dem Abschließen des Doms (gegen 20:45 Uhr) stattfand.

Fronleichnam

Das Fronleichnamsfest, kurz: Fronleichnam (von mittelhochdeutsch: vrônlîcham, vrônlîchname, das aus der vrône lîcham entstanden ist, was „Leib des Herrn“ bedeutet; kirchenlat.: Corpus Domini), offiziell „Hochfest des Leibes und Blutes Christi“, regional auch Prangertag oder Blutstag genannt, ist ein Fest im römisch-katholischen Festjahr, mit dem die leibliche Gegenwart Jesu Christi im Sakrament der Eucharistie gefeiert wird.
An die Heilige Messe schließt sich in der Regel die Prozession an, bei der die Gläubigen die vom Priester getragene Monstranz mit dem Allerheiligsten (eine konsekrierte Hostie) in einem Festzug unter Gesang zu mehreren geschmückten Außenaltären begleiten. Dort wird eine Statio mit Evangelienlesung, Fürbitten und abschließendem Eucharistischen Segen der Gläubigen und des Ortes gehalten. Die Prozession schließt meist in der Pfarrkirche mit dem „Te Deum“ (Großer Gott wir loben dich!) und dem „Tantum Ergo“. (Text aus Wikipedia)

Das Foto stammt übrigens nicht von Fronleichnam, sondern vom Liborifest 2006.
Von der Darstellung ist es aber gleich einer Fronleichnamsprozession)
