St. Peter’s Basilica Purified After Man Pees On Altar

St. Peter’s Basilica was temporarily closed to the public last week to purify its altar after a man climbed onto it, removed his pants, and urinated on it in an act of vandalism. The incident, which caused widespread outrage, prompted a response from Pope Leo, who was allegedly “appalled by” the desecration.

Following the incident, the Altar of Confession—where the Pope typically celebrates Mass and which is situated above what is alleged to be St. Peter’s tomb—was ritually purified. The purification ceremony involved sprinkling holy water over the altar while psalms and hymns were recited, restoring the space.

It’s not the first time the altar was used in protest. In 2023 a Polish man took off all his clothes and jumped on the altar, showcasing the “save children of Ukraine” written on his exposed back.
