A cross was demolished and a makeshift temple set up some 200 meters away in a village in India’s Chhattisgarh State, Christian leaders said.
The concrete cross on a hillock in Madanpur village in Korba district was popular among Christians living in the village and its nearby areas for more than two decades. They gathered around for prayers, especially to do the Way of the Cross during Lenten season, said Arun Pannalal, president of Chhattisgarh Christian Forum that works among persecuted Christians in the state.
