Madison clothing store, located at W. 3rd Street and Robertson Boulevard, has put up a nativity scene featuring a scantily-clad Virgin Mary sprawled on the ground with a glittery, golden baby Jesus in her lap.
Three wise men, looking more sexy than wise, surround Mary, carrying gifts from the store. Some people have complained about the display, calling it risqué.
A group that works across the street from the store said sex, their religion and shopping in a single tableau is too much for them to handle.
Said one woman, "The way they have presented Mary in a very provocative position with a baby in her crotch, and that baby is supposed to be Jesus... No."
The group is asking that the display be changed immediately. If the store doesn't oblige, they plan to go to every church in the area to garner support for the removal of the display.
