It was 22:30 on a Friday when Arthur Brand got the delivery he was nervously expecting.
His doorbell rang, and when he opened the door no one was there. Instead, a cardboard box was waiting for him at the door in the dark.
In that box he said was one of the most sacred artefacts ever stolen from the Catholic Church: the Precious Blood of Christ relic.
“[My] heart was beating in [my] chest,” the Dutch art detective told AFP in an interview about the recovery of the stolen treasure.
