Three Spanish women will be hauled in front of a judge for 'making a mockery' of Catholic religious traditions after marching with a two metre plastic vagina 'in the style of the virgin', according to court documents.
The women were protesting during a march organised by the Spanish union the General Workers' Confederation (CGT) on May 1 2014.
But a Spanish judge has said they 'carried a plastic vagina a couple of metres high in the style of the Virgin Mary' and now face charges of crimes against 'religious sentiment'.
Police were called to identify the women from a video of the march, and were pictured wearing black lace face veils and carrying rosary beads, according to Europa Press.
The veils, known as mantillas, are commonly worn by devout Catholic women during religious celebrations.
Other women were seen wearing conical hoods worn by members of religious brotherhoods to celebrate Easter.
Hailed as the 'Santísimo Coño Insumiso', or the 'Blessed Rebellious Vagina', they reportedly were protesting against homophobia.
Feminist groups have routinely staged demonstration in Spain, to protest the country's abortion laws.
Miguel Sevillano, head of the CGT in Seville told Europa Press that the women had 'nothing to do' with the union, but added that the women were part of a feminist group.
The year before in Malaga, feminists held a similar procession to mark International Women's day on March 8.
