‘It was fear, especially when they entered,’ revealed Sister Danielle in an interview with the BBC.
‘When I saw them I said to myself, “well, that’s it. It’s over”. They were so motivated.
‘They told me “you Christians, you kill us”.’
The nun explained how 84-year-old Catholic priest Father Jacques Hamel had just celebrated his mass when the attackers ‘took his place and started preaching in Arabic’.
She described how the pair ‘forced him to kneel and told him not to move’.
Moments later, they murdered the priest, filming themselves as they cut his throat in a savage attack.
She added: ‘Jacques loved all people regardless of religion. That is all I can say. A faithful priest, a priest who loved everybody, who loved much.’
