GREGGS have apologised for causing offence online after replacing Jesus, the son of God, with a sausage roll in the Nativity scene.
The bakery chain chose to promote its new advent calendar by releasing the image that caused a small amount of controversy.
While many online saw the humour in it, others were very upset by the image.
Simon Richards called for a boycott of the bakery chain, tweeting: "Please boycott @GreggsOfficial to protest against its sick anti-Christian Advent Calendar. What cowards these people are: we all know that they would never dare insult other religions! They should donate every penny of their profits to @salvationarmyuk."
Greggs responded, stating: "Were really sorry to have caused any offence, this was never our intention."
The advent calendar is out now in selected Greggs stores and costs £24.
I bet it isn’t kosher, either.
All righty then.
Some folks like pork chops,
And some folks like ham hocks,
And some folks like vegetable stew.
Not as sorry as they will be.
