It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, most of the religious groups of the Western World have been calling for boycotts of Madonna’s concerts for years! But Bulgaria’s Orthodox Church officials have called on followers to stay away from her concert scheduled for its capital city of Sofia this Saturday night. And it has nothing to do with her plaything Jesus, or hanging herself from a cross while wearing a crown of thorns, or her antics on stage, it’s simply because she apparently failed to consult a calendar before setting a date for the show! Turns out Saturday night's show coincides with one of Orthodox Christianity's holy days, wherein they mark the beheading of Saint John the Baptist by spending the day fasting. It's a ritual Madonna, and no doubt her nearly sell-out 50,000-strong crowd clearly won't be adhering to. The church went on to express its "disapproval and disagreement with such musical artistic events which, in many cases, openly profane Christian symbols and events."
