The Cathedral of Turin has been criticised by some after putting facemasks on the Virgin Mary, Joseph, the Three Wise Men and others in its annual nativity scene.
Augusta Montaruli, a member of the national-conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) and an MP for Turin, slammed the Christmas move by the Cathedral saying, “The decision to put masks on the characters of the nativity scene set up in the Cathedral of Turin lacks common sense.”
“I certainly agree with the caution and anti-contagion protection, necessary to overcome this difficult phase, but the nativity scene has the value of re-enactment, symbolically representing the birth of Jesus, and bringing back believers, to a particular atmosphere lived two thousand years ago,” Montraruli said.
“That is the cornerstone of our immutable traditions even before the period of masks,” he added and went on to state that the nativity should remain as normal to free peoples minds from the current worries of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.
The move is not the first time a nativity scene has been used to send a message, some of which have been overtly political.
In 2017, the Italian town of Castenaso was criticised by emeritus bishop Bologna Ernesto Vecchi for setting up a nativity inside a dinghy in order to draw attention to migrants crossing the Mediterranean into Italy.

We are all retards now.
Ridiculous!
I don’t want to remember a single THING about 2020, the ‘PlanDemic’ and those STUPID, USELESS MASKS!
Compulsive behavior.
It was all anybody at services this morning wanted to talk about.
I am thinking a civil war is what we should do because just how hard could it be to defeat these retards??
It’s not a 2020 thing.
There’s going to be no fun in 2021.
In the future, this pandemic era will be referred to as
The New Dark Age. I probably won’t be around for the Second Renaissance.
Exactly. Whichever this goes. Either Biden or Trump. The other side will rage. It’s coming, but not before the holidays. January 20, 2021 is the only drop-dead date. We’ve got this, but they will rage even when given undeniable proof. The media isn’t helping any by censoring the truth.
Stupid. Sick. Insane.
Oh, I’M going to be having some fun. Don’t doubt it, LOL!
It’s so sad. I barely even talk to anyone at church like we used to.
Had a great outdoor conversation with some fellow anti maskers.
But I just can’t get past the anonymous faceless friends. I’m getting sick of trying to recognize people by hair style.
Jesus healed the leper but Covid, man, that’s another story.
What the heck do “Made in China” face diapers have to do with the Nativity?
I hope they did not forget to place a facemask on the Holy Shroud.
