A monument at Williams College, a private Liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, honoring Christian missionaries was recently vandalized with Satanic graffiti, the CollegeFix reports.

This was the second time this has happened to the monument in recent weeks which has become a popular gathering spot for Christian students at the school to pray.

On May 13, 2023, vandals spray-painted the words, ‘Hail Satan,’ ‘Blood,’ ‘Pagan Rule,’ and ‘Ouch’ on the monument and followed that up on May 21 by vandalizing it a second time with the words ‘Ouch’, ‘Shame on you’ and ‘Hell is hot.’

Referred to as the ‘Haystack monument’, the 12-foot tall marble monument was constructed in 1867 to commemorate four students who started an American missionary movement to spread the gospel around the world.

The monument became controversial after the college conducted a 2016 review of the artwork and monuments on the property of the historic college.

At the Haystack Monument in Williamstown MA where the American missionary movement began, 45 people on their knees prayed for revival among the youth. So far two have responded to the call. Thank you Jesus! pic.twitter.com/IihsgrlLhO
