The “My Sweet Lord” exhibition was shut down due to massive complaints. The show was set to be displayed during Holy Week.

What is so unique about this particuliar Jesus sculpture? He is made of 200 pounds of milk chocolate. Furthermore, unlike many of the sculptures of Jesus, he is displayed without a loincloth. Making the Son of God naked. The chocolate figure is six feet in length and features outstretched arms.

But word of the confectionery 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.”

Angry phone calls, death threats and emails were said to be sent to the artist, Cosimo Cavallaro. The artist is best known for his artwork using food.

The hotel claimed that in fear of their own safety they decided to cancel the show.

To see actual chocolates that can fit into an Easter basket go to Religious Chocolates.
