“Take it and eat it, it’s my body,” the motto said at the top of the image of Jesus Christ. At last year’s Aste Nagusia in Bilbao, the comparsa Hontzak of Bilbao represented in its txosna “The Vatican Carnage”. Next to the image of the cross hang the figures of the butcher's products.

The defendant has described it as "ridiculous and embarrassing" to prosecute a matter of this nature and has ensured that freedom of expression has been violated.
The case pending judgment
