Artist is arrested for stripping NAKED at French Catholic pilgrimage site

PUBLISHED: 11:19 EDT, 3 September 2018 | UPDATED: 23:58 EDT, 3 September 2018

A performance artist has been arrested for posing naked at a Catholic pilgrimage site in the French town of Lourdes.

Infamous provocateur and feminist Deborah de Robertis stripped off at the Sanctuary of our Lady of Lourdes on Friday.

Wearing only a blue veil on her head, she stood in front of a statue adorned with candles and placed her hands in a praying position.

Visitors were visibly shocked by her actions with one upset onlooker even trying to cover her with the veil.
