The 64-year-old Madonna caused a stir due to three covers of the prestigious fashion magazine and Anity Fair in which she stars.
The great singer appears on the covers of the magazine in the Italian, French and Spanish versions, as part of the first icon issue in the magazine's history that celebrates legends that shaped modern culture.
The huge cross-country project involved a series of provocative photographs in the spirit of Christianity, and according to reports more than 80 crew members took part in it.
In the series of photographs entrusted to the well-known duo of photographers, Luigi Valengo, Madonna is photographed, among other things, on the cover of the magazine as the Weeping Mary - and in the center of the image is a heart impaled by swords (a reference to the well-known Christian motif 'The Sacred Heart of Jesus' which symbolizes the unconditional love of Jesus for his believers. h), and Jesus of a female gender at the Last Supper surrounded by only women. In another photo, Madonna is photographed in a corset dangling from a rope surrounded by dancers in the form of bullfighters, a reference to her music video for the single Take a Bow from 1984.

On the couture clothes and accessories in the crazy production you can find, among others, the names of designers such as John Galliano, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier, under the direction of the Swedish stylist B. Åkerlund.

The issue quickly became the talk of the day online and not surprisingly received thousands of angry responses from surfers who called the production disgraceful and claimed that it is a religious provocation that seriously hurts the feelings of Christian believers.
Among the reactions that appeared online: "Shame on everyone who took part in this", "Imagine what would happen if she humiliated any other religion like this", and even "she will be judged by Jesus when her time comes".
