Sweet Jesus
There has been a lot of press today about a chocolate sculpture of Jesus. Personally, I don’t get the fuss. It is the catholic church that perfected the art of religious iconography. Is the offence that he was created out of food? Nobody whines about the butter last supper, (or chocolate)and Jesus is part of that. I have seen chocolate Jesus candies before. So the medium surely can’t be the offence? Perhaps its that chocolate Jesusis dark chocolate and not white chocolate? maybe Jesus shouldn’t be edible? That would negate the portion of communion that says “this is my body, eat it in remembrance of me”. Maybe the person who first got upset is not a fan of Tom Waits? This isn’t the first time Jesus has been depicted naked. Surely it can’t be that? meh
