Magazine Playboy, long known for its exploitative depiction of women has marked the birth of Christ with the depiction of a nude Virgin Mary on the cover of its Mexican edition.
Most people would not think porn and religion were a match made in heaven. But Playboy appear to believe they're a winning combination and has put the Virgin Mary nude on its cover to celebrate Christmas.
The controversial magazine is sure to cause uproar in Mexico where it was released yesterday. Stunning model Maria Florencia Onori poses in the December issue in nothing but angelic white cloth with a stained-glass window behind her.
The Christmas edition was published the day before the traditional Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a national celebration that commemorates an apparition of the Virgin in the country. The Spanish headline translates 'We adore you, Mary'.
The Basilica of Guadalupe, in Mexico City, is an important Catholic pilgrimage site and one of the most visited churches in the world.
