O statuie din ciocolată a lui Iisus

O galerie de artă din New York, Statele Unite, a stârnit mânia unui grup american de catolici după ce a anunţat decizia de a expune o statuie a lui Iisus Cristos realizată din ciocolată cu lapte, informează Mediafax.

Statuia cu înălţimea de 1,80 metri, intitulată "My Sweet Lord", este o reprezentare a lui Iisus răstignit pe cruce.

Şeful Ligii catolice, Bill Donohue, a calificat această creaţie drept "unul dintre cele mai groaznice atacuri asupra sentimentelor creştine".

Chocolate Jesus exhibit canceled after complaints

By Larry McShane, Associated Press | March 31, 2007

NEW YORK -- A planned Holy Week exhibition of a nude, anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ was canceled yesterday amid a slew of complaints including those of Cardinal Edward Egan.


The "My Sweet Lord" exhibit was closed by the hotel that houses the Lab Gallery in midtown Manhattan, said Matt Semler, the gallery's creative director.

Semler said he submitted his resignation after officials at the Roger Smith Hotel shut down the show.

The 6-foot-tall sculpture was the victim of "a strong-arming from people who haven't seen the show, seen what we're doing," Semler said. "They jumped to conclusions completely contrary to our intentions."

But word of the confectionary Christ infuriated Catholics, including Egan, who described it as "a sickening display." Bill Donohue, head of the watchdog Catholic League, said it was "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever."

The hotel and the gallery were overrun Thursday with angry phone calls and e-mails about the exhibit. Semler said the calls included death threats over the work of artist Cosimo Cavallaro, who was described as disappointed by the cancellation .

"In this situation, the hotel couldn't continue to be supportive because of a fear for their own safety," Semler said.

The sculpture was set to debut Monday evening, the day after Palm Sunday and four days before the anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The final day of the exhibit was planned for Easter Sunday.

The artwork was created from more than 200 pounds of milk chocolate and features Christ with his arms outstretched as if on an invisible cross. Unlike the typical religious portrayal of Christ, the Cavallaro creation does not include a loincloth.

Cavallaro is best known for his quirky work with food as art: Past efforts include repainting a Manhattan hotel room in melted mozzarella, spraying 5 tons of pepper jack cheese on a Wyoming home, and festooning a four-poster bed with 312 pounds of processed ham.

As-salamu aleykum wa rahmetul-allah wa berekeatuh


Ce pot spune...in afara faptului ca nu au ales credinta dreapta si se lasa orbiti de lumea crestina..iata pana unde s-a ajuns.
Asa cum am spus si in threadul legat de Paste, aceasta 'credinta' a lor nu a devenit nimic altceva decat o foarte frumoasa sursa de bani. Incepand de la banii adunati in biserici (mercedes, case) pana la cadourile de sarbatori si terminand cu astfel de 'opere', intruchipare a 'inspiratiei shaytanice'.

Una este sa crezi in altceva decat adevarata credinta, una este sa te abati chiar si de la aceasta gresita credinta, sa nu o prespecti, si o cu totul altceva este sa te poti macar gandi la asa ceva. Ok inteleg ca au pocit chipul profetului (salla alayhi Allahu wa salam), dar totusi, respectivii nu credeau in islam, deci cum au putut sa faca asta stiind ca miliarde de oameni cred cu toata fiinta lor in Isus ca si fiu al lui Dumnezeu (nu spun ca nu este o jignire pentru noi, ptr ca este si Allah stie cel mai bine), insa privit din punctul lor de vedere...chiar nu imi dau seama cum de nu au prevazut consecintele acestei idei.

Numai Allah swt stie care le va fi pedeapsa.
