MUNICH: The house in Bavaria where Pope Benedict XVI was born has been vandalised with paint on the eve of his visit to his birthplace, German police said on Sunday.             

 

Two bags of blue paint were thrown at the yellow-painted house in the small town of Marktl-am-Inn near the Austrian border in the early hours of Sunday.        

 

The splashes of paint were being removed during the day. Benedict, 79, is scheduled to visit the house on Monday evening as part of his six-day homecoming pilgrimage to the southern German region which ends on Thursday.      

 

The pope was born in Marktl on April 16, 1927 and spent the first two years of his life in the town. He gave an open-air mass for 250,000 people in Munich on Sunday.
