MADONNA has come under fire for her use of religious imagery in her stage show ahead of her first ever concert in Russia.
The LIKE A VIRGIN singer has courted controversy throughout the European leg of her Confessions world tour with her decision to perform while suspended from a giant cross.
A Dutch priest was arrested earlier this month (03SEP06) when he phoned in a fake bomb threat in a bid to have Madonna’s Amsterdam shows called off.
And the 48-year-old has angered Russian Orthodox priests with her re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ ahead of her show at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium tonight (12SEP06).
Father VSEVOLOD CHAPLIN, a spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church, says, "This lady has been glorifying human passions with the help of religious symbols for years - crosses, statues and beads. Now she thinks it is time for her to crucify herself in public. It means the singer is in need of spiritual help."
