In Australia, the statue of the saint had to be covered with a cover because of ambiguity

The reason - the image of a piece of bread in his lowered hand began to cause ambiguous interpretations, reports Oxu. Az.

The sculpture of the work of one of the local masters depicted in the school "Blackfriars" in Adelaide depicts the priest, Martin de Porres, who lived in the XVI-XVII centuries. A monk from the Order of the Dominicans, who helped the poor in South America, was later canonized.

The Saint is depicted holding a bread loaf in his hand, which he gives to the child cuddling to him.

According to the director of the school Simon Kobiak, during the approval of the project of the statue, his two-dimensional scheme did not cause anyone to censure. However, when the finished monument was installed in the school, it became clear that the image of bread on it can cause an ambiguous interpretation.

In this regard, the statue was decided to close the black veil and ask the sculptor to change it.
