Shortly after four o'clock at night, it was small at Spånga church.
One Molotov cocktail had been thrown at the entrance and two at broken windows.
Police have cordoned off the area for a technical investigation that will be carried out on Wednesday and the crime is classified as arson.
- It is a strong symbolic act against a church.
I do not know why anyone would want to do this.
It can be about arousing disgust or provoking.
We have no threat against us or anything like that, says Jerker Alsterlund.
In December 2018, an explosive device detonated at another parish hall just over a kilometer away from Spånga church but which belongs to the same parish.
That investigation never led to anyone being convicted.
- That time it was probably an experiment.
This time it is worse when it is so clearly directed at the church, says Jerker Alsterlund.
