The Orthodox Calendar group’s 2014 calendar features “priests” in the nude as to “pay tribute to gay marriage.” Obviously.
The Orthodox Calendar group has created a 2014 calendar which features nude and semi-nude members of the Orthodox Church.
Orthodox Calendars has been releasing similar calendar's since 2012, to "counteract the negative and outdated influences of most of the Orthodox church leadership."
Orthodox Calendar say their 2014 calendar "pays tribute to gay marriage."
The group have explained that this year's calendar is "the story of young gay couples from Eastern Europe sharing a common dream of one day being able to wed their beloved at the altar of St. Basil’s or St. Sophia’s or any other Eastern rite church."
The men in the calendar are models, not actual priests, but obviously some people are still offended.
Orthodox Calendar have explained that the calendar also takes an "ironic approach to the Orthodox Church itself" as the church has recently been involved in "corruption scandals, artist repression, gay sex cover-ups, outrageous behavior and homophobia."
