Baby Jesus returned to Hoboken church almost 90 years later

HOBOKEN – According to reports, a baby Jesus from a 1930s nativity scene was returned to Our Lady of Grace and St. Joseph on Fourth Street and Willow Avenue on Wednesday when an unknown package was delivered.
Rev. Alexander Santora told NBC 4 New York that he was initially apprehensive to open the package since it had no return address and didn’t look like it was packed by a company so he called the police to report it as suspicious.
Once the package was cleared by the Emergency Services Unit he found a baby Jesus statue and a note stating that the statue was stolen from the church’s Nativity scene in the 1930’s and somehow was in the sender’s grandfathers possession and the sender thought it should be returned.
