Chocolate Jesus is back!

Back in March, Maegan told us how a sculpture of Jesus made in chocolate was raising a stink among Catholics. The artist, one Cosimo Cavallaro, even had to cancel his exhibit due to the controversy. But now the chocolate Chuy is back:

“My Sweet Lord,” an anatomically correct milk chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ that infuriated Catholics before its April unveiling was canceled, returns Oct. 27 to a Chelsea art gallery, its creator said Tuesday.

This time, artist Cosimo Cavallaro said he expects the public exhibit to proceed without a problem.

“There is nothing offensive about this,” Cavallaro said of his controversial confectionary work. “If my intentions were to offend, if I did do something wrong, I wouldn’t be doing this. But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Cavallaro, who received death threats before the April show was canceled, said the vast majority of his mail was in support of his six-foot piece.

AP reports that the exhibit, to be held at the Proposition Gallery in New York City, will also feature chocolate Virgin Marys and Saints.
