Jesus has turned to chocolate for one of his many Easter appearences, thanks to a US based artist.
Cosimo Cavallaro will unveil the his work of art - called My Sweet Lord- on 1 April in Manhatten, US. The sculpture took over 200 pounds of chocolate to create, and is said to be amazing by those who have already seen it. Lets just hope its not eaten and does not melt under the hot lights.
