An annual swimsuit competition in Brazil, the Miss Bumbum Pageant, is facing some major heat from religious leaders this past week after the magazine recreated the iconic "Last Supper" painting with models in bikinis, reports Maxim.

Painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 15th Century, the work of art is considered one of history's greatest religious masterpieces, depicting Jesus Christ's last meal with his followers before his crucifixion. The newest take on that features eight models, in place of Christ and his disciples, wearing bikinis and posing 'butts out' to the camera.

Cacau Oliver, the pageant's creator, told the Daily Mail that the biblical scenario was intended to recreate the tense atmosphere of the competition. Oliver went on to say that the photo took place during the "last" meeting of the women before heading into the grand finale of the competition.

Sexy Jesus herself, Daiana Fegueredo, issued a public apolgoy for the image. The model, pictured at the center of the piece, said she grew up Catholic and considers the photo blasphemy. Fegueredo says that ever since the shoot, she's regretted being a part of the controversial image. She told the Daily Mail:

"We went too far. We were part of a great sin."

The biggest sin, judging from the image, are the models sitting bare bottom on perfectly good food. Such as waste.
