Museum Defends Its Virgin Mary in Bikini
From Times Wire Reports
A New Mexico museum defended a depiction of a bikini-clad Virgin Mary after the archbishop of Santa Fe added his voice to attacks from Roman Catholic activists against the artwork.
Museum officials were expected to meet next week to hear public comment on “Our Lady,” a digital photograph that also includes a bare-breasted angel. The angel is holding up the Virgin Mary in a stance reminiscent of traditional pictures of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
