Spanish Catholics denounce ‘offensive’ Jesus poster

Ultra-conservatives demand apology from artist over ‘effeminate’ and ‘camp’ image to celebrate Easter week in Seville

A poster of Jesus to promote Easter week in Seville has drawn a backlash from Spanish ultra-conservatives, who denounced it as “effeminate” and “offensive” to Roman Catholics.

Designed by Seville artist Salustiano Garcia, the image shows Jesus after his resurrection, standing semi-naked in front of a blood-red background, with the lower part of his body covered by a white cloth.
