These Sebastian Errazuriz Christian popsicles are righteous. Once these wine popsicles are consumed, they reveal wooden sticks engraved with a crucified Christ, stained in red. The popsicles were created by Chilean-born, New York-based artist Sebastian Errazuriz. Using religious icongraphy is nothing new for Errazuriz, as his other work including 'Emergency Christ' and 'Kryptonite' have also used the symbol of Jesus.
These designs will be served at the New York R'Pure Gallery for the opening of the 'Love It or Leave It' show, inviting gallery-goers to drink the Kool-Aid. According to web magazine MoCoLoco, the artist is claiming the popsicles have been blessed. Errazuriz apparently took them to a church inside a cooler, and the priest unknowingly blessed them during the Eucharist therefore becoming the blood of Christ.
