Fire fighters were stunned when bible remained intact after a Church Fire in West Virginia.
“I sat down on the ground and i cried as I watched it burn,”revealed reverend Phil Farrington who with his congregation had worshipped at the church for the past several years..
Firefighters from several departments worked for hours to beat the blaze as the flames swallowed the structure and smoke billowed high into the air.
Fire officials said the structure sustained heavy damage. But when it was over and firefighters were combing through the rubble, they uncovered church possessions that had survived: Bibles. Farrington said the sacred texts had been scattered throughout the sanctuary, most in seat-back pockets for parishioners and one that was kept on the pulpit for him.
The coal city Fire department posted pictures on Facebook showing the Bibles, which had been collected into a pile on the soot-stained ground.
