I hope the cathedral can fix the damage. It is the mother church for all Episcopalians and a national gem.

Police: Woman arrested in DC cathedral vandalism

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman was arrested Monday after green paint was found splattered inside two chapels at the Washington National Cathedral, and police were investigating her in connection with two similar incidents on the National Mall, authorities said.

Jiamei Tian, 58, was arrested inside the cathedral shortly after the paint was found and charged with defacing property, police and cathedral officials said. Investigators were hoping to question her about the vandalism on the Mall, including at the Lincoln Memorial, but a language barrier was complicating those efforts, Assistant D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said soon after the arrest.

It was not immediately clear if Tian had an attorney. Police believed she was homeless. No motive was given.
