British Bakery Apologises For Sausage Roll In Place Of The Baby Jesus For an Advent Calendar
The bakery chain Greggs has recently advertised a nativity scene advert that replaces Jesus with a sausage roll. Greggs has apologized for offending Christians.
The Freedom Association's chief executive has claimed that the advert was “sick” and that the company would “never dare” insult other religions.
Greggs released the advert to promote its £24 Christmas advent calendar. Its decision to use an image depicting the three wise men gathering round a crib containing a sausage roll sparked criticism from Twitter users and religious groups.
Greggs has refused to remove the advert for its first ever advent calendar but have made an official apology “We’re really sorry to have caused any offence this was never our intention.”
