Feminist Group Paints over Fresco of Jesus in Church in Geneva
A group of women desecrated a fresco of Jesus and the apostles on June 14 at the Plainpalais Church in Geneva. The group, called "The Red Tents", gained access to the chapel of the Plainpalais Church. They used pink and purple paint to add women, draw breasts on a saint, and paint male genitals on the fresco. They also painted symbols of Venus and Mars on Christ's dress.
The fresco dates back to the 1950s and depicts Jesus holding the bread and wine in front of the twelve apostles. The Protestant Church of Geneva (EPG) asked that the fresco be covered with a sheet "out of respect for the work and the artist." It is unsure if the fresco will be restored and what the damage costs.
