A topless woman from an activist group tried to escape with a baby Jesus statue at the Vatican on Christmas Day.

According to Euronews, the topless woman is from the feminist group Femen who "considers the anti-war policy of the Vatican a rough medieval attack on the freedom of women and their natural rights."

GONE BABY JESUS GONE: Woman caught carrying baby Jesus figurine arrested for theft

A Reuters photographer witnessed the woman jumping over the rail to snatch the statue in St. Peter's Square on Monday about two hours before Pope Francis delivered his Christmas message to a crowd of people. The photographer says that she ran into the nativity scene shouting "God is woman," which was also painted on her back.
