World mama Angelina Jolie has been painted as the Virgin Mary in a painting titled "Blessed Art Thou," a line taken from the Catholic prayer.

The painting also has Angelina Jolie's three kids, with youngest daughter Shiloh being portrayed as the daughter of God, and elder kids Maddox and Zahara being shown as Angelina's cherubs, reports The Sun as quoted by ANI News.

The artist who came up with the idea, Kate Kretz, is not worried about the angst that the painting is going to spark. She claims the painting is aimed to confront issues regarding celebrity worship in the first place.

 

When asked about the reasons why she "cast" Angelina Jolie among all the other female stars to be the subject of the painting, the artist says that's because of Jolie's unavoidable presence in the media, her "unattainable" beauty, all her charity work, as well as the media frenzy that accompanied the birth of baby Shiloh.

The painting goes on display at the Art Miami Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Centre.

The fair will be a three-day affair that begins on January 5 and will close its doors to the public on January 8.
