NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - As crews searched through the rubble in East Harlem Saturday a firefighter discovered a bible belonging to the church that was destroyed in the blast.

“It was a bible but it was the original book they tell me, with the founders of the church. It was singed but it meant an awful lot to the pastor because at least we have a remnant of the church,” Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said.

Cassano told 1010 WINS’ Gary Baumgarten they presented the bible to the pastor, who was so overwhelmed he had to be taken to the hospital for observation.

Firefighters were working to remove debris from the basements of the buildings Saturday.
