Feminist protest group Femen have staged a demonstration in St Peter's Square after the Pope's Christmas address, grabbing a statue of a newly-born Jesus from the square's nativity scene.
Leader of the Femen movement, Inna Shevchenko, grabbed the statue with the words "God Is Woman" daubed in large letters on her chest.
Ms Shevchenko was immediately detained by a Vatican guard who covered her with his cape before she was escorted to a local police station.
The guard also wrestled the Jesus figurine away from her.
Although the incident occurred well after Pope Francis delivered his Christmas message from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, thousands of pilgrims were still in the famous square.
Femen has staged similar stunts at the Vatican, including a protest last month over an imminent visit by the pope to the European Parliament.
The three Femen members were wearing only leather mini-skirts and flower garlands in their hair.
One had the slogan "Pope is not a politician" emblazoned across her chest.

Yes, you can see the demon in her.
"God is woman", eh, but she goes straight for the 'baby Jesus' figurine.
Hmmm.
So the guard suppresses his own laughter at the situation as he does what he must to gently remove the disruptor.
What could have been a fun kind of topper to the scene would be for a Vatican employee or guard to replace the figurine with obvious gentle and due care (like -- as if the figurine were an actual child) back into the manger, putting the statuary back into the care of the other statuary, then doffing their hats, taking a knee, make a bow towards the "baby", stand up, give a quick wave at the onlookers, then trot off the scene.
I wonder if something like that did not follow. If there is a next time, I do hope a photo-op of that nature be recognized, filmed, then be part what circulates in world media.
Score another one for the baby Jesus. hey!
That is exactly what I saw too! She looks possessed.
She looks like the mayor of Crazytown.
they keep getting slaps on the wrist, that is why they keep doing this!
they never do, saps on the wrist encourage this
The b**** needs a tune up.
Glad i am not the only one who can “see” this.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
