Security Of Churches Reinforced On August 15 In France

French police in front of the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Lille, France on August 15, 2023. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin asked for the reinforcement of the protection of places of worship on August 15 for the feast of the Assumption. The Minister explains that "the persistence of a high level of the terrorist threat requires the maintenance of strong vigilance vis-à-vis places of a religious nature". The Assumption is a Catholic religious holiday that celebrates the elevation of the Virgin Mary to heaven after her death. This day gives rise to many processions.
