A sex store in Spain faced outrage from protesters after displaying dildos with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus painted on them.

The store’s owner, Héctor Valdivielso, ordered ceramic sex toys to be painted with the images of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. He featured them in a window display. Approximately a dozen people gathered outside Non Sit Peccatum in Toldedo to express anger over the dildos, reports Metro.

Valdivielso says the protest was not the first time people had expressed anger over the dildos.

“A man with his wife ordered me to remove the offending scene and said that if I didn’t he would remove it himself,” he wrote on Facebook.

He also alleged that vandals wrote “Sinner” on his store window. Another group, Children of the Virgin Mary, also plans to protest his store, he said.

“It was affecting my business. Who wants to come to a store like this to hear a sermon?” Valdivielso lamented.

Valdivielso eventually took the display down due to outside pressure. In place of the sex toy display, Valdivielso put up a sign asking people’s opinions on whether he should bring the display back or not.

About 79 percent of people encouraged him to bring back the display, Valdivielso said. Nine hundred and eighty-eight people responded to his question.

“People asked me not to give in to blackmail. So it’s going back in the window,” Valdivielso said.
