All-Purpose tourist map: Virgin Mary shrine on one side - on the other side?


Pilgrims to a holy shrine in Portugal are being given free maps of the site that show the Virgin Mary on one side and adverts for sex objects and aphrodisiacs on the other.


SEX TOYS!

Pilgrims to a holy shrine in Portugal are being given free maps of the site that show the Virgin Mary on one side and adverts for sex objects and aphrodisiacs on the other.

The maps, thought up by an advertising company, have raised eyebrows among the Catholic faithful and ire from the authorities at the popular Sanctuary of Fatima.

“The map is not official and makes the wrong use of the picture of the Virgin Mary,” a shrine spokeswoman said on Friday.

Works for me.

And don’t forget the Virgin Mary Kiwi!
