NZ cathedral missing its angels 10 years after quake The Guardian, AUCKLAND, New Zealand Ten years after a devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, the Catholic diocese has discovered that it is missing a pair of angels. As work continues to deconstruct the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes Street — which was extensively damaged in the 2011 quake, along with most of the central city — many treasures thought lost have been recovered. Catholic Diocese of Christchurch archivist Triona Doocey has been documenting the finds on Facebook — among them, decades-old time capsules, a charity collection box full of outdated currency, and a nativity scene with the figures’ heads “taken clean off.”
