Footage has emerged of what appears to be a group of Jewish holidaymakers removing a cross made of stones on a Welsh hill and using the rocks to create a Star of David display.
The 60-foot-long cross was found in the popular tourist hub of Llandudno, North Wales.The structure was entirely made up of loose stones and has stood on the hill below the Great Orme summit for at least half a century.
The footage sparked outrage online after it showed what looked to be a group of youngsters wearing traditional kippah headwear removing stones from the much-loved Christian display. It went on to show the youths take the stones further along the hill and make a Star of David, the symbol of the Jewish faith.
It is unknown whether the Star of David display was finished by the group, or how many of the stones which made up the cross were taken. Adults accompanying the group appeared to look on while the group dismantled the structure.
Initial footage of the incident was posted on Facebook, which sparked furious reactions in the comment section. One user fumed: "If a Christian dismantled a Star of David to build a cross, we would be put in prison and face hate crimes."
Another commented: "Sorry... but this cross has been on the Orme for years... show respect to any religion." After the video surfaced, locals headed to the hillside to restore the stones back to their original positions - and the cross was restored fully by the end of the weekend.
