Don’t expect anyone …

Don’t expect anyone to die over this.

POLAND’S Roman Catholics expressed outrage today after a magazine published a picture of the much revered icon of the Black Madonna with pop singer Madonna’s face transposed onto it.
“We are shocked to see, yet again, the miraculous icon of the mother of God used in a profanatory way for advertising and business purposes,” Paulinian monks at Jasna Gora monastery in the southern city of Czestochowa.

The monks are the custodians of the icon which Poles believe was painted by St Luke the Evangelist.

Pop magazine Machina published a photograph of the sacred icon, with singer Madonna’s face transposed over the face of the Virgin and one of the singer’s children in the place of the baby Jesus, on the cover of the issue which hit the news stands today after a three-year publishing hiatus.
