The Cathedral of Saint Andrew was vandalized Tuesday night, prompting church officials to close the church Wednesday.

Large pieces of stone were thrown against the oldest of the cathedral’s stained glass windows, sending shards of glass into the cathedral’s interior, according to a notice issued by the Episcopal church, 229 Queen Emma Square.

Walter Brownridge, dean of Saint Andrew Cathedral, said damage to two windows is estimated at $8,000 each.

The incident marked the second apparent vandalism attack in the past few weeks. A week ago Monday, furniture and the church’s harpsichord were damaged, he said.

The cathedral in downtown Honolulu is scheduled to open for regular services and events today.
