A Playboy model has been arrested for posing naked at the Vatican while carrying a large wooden crucifix, in the latest of a series of controversial stunts.
Belgian model Marisa Papen made headlines around the world when she was imprisoned after posing naked at the Karnak Temple Complex near the Egyptian city of Luxor.
One picture from the latest shoot shows a nude Ms Papen dragging a large wooden crucifix across a street in the Vatican with St Peter's Basilica visible in the background.
Another picture shows Ms Papen sitting nude on some bibles on the wet cobblestones of St Peter's Square while other snaps show her tied to the cross.
When police saw what they were doing officers chased after her and photographer Jesse Walker and put the pair in a cell, before releasing them ten hours later.
Very cross: Police did not like this image of Marisa Papen crossing a street in Vatican City near the St Peter's Basilica carrying a huge wooden crucifix on her shoulder
In one of the pictures Marisa also posed naked with candles as a man stands over her appearing to read from the Bible
The couple say they were chased through St Peter's Square by the Vatican police who witnessed the photoshoot.
Mr Walker said: 'I have a talented friend, Lucas, in Bali that makes beautiful high-end teak furniture. He made it (the crucifix) so it comes apart and bolts together in three pieces. A life-sized collapsible teak crucifix.
'Getting it in an out of Uber vans was hysterical, the drivers didn't know what to make of it, but you know the Italians are lovely people, so it was no big deal to them.'
Ms Papen recently sparked outrage in Israel when posing in front of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, and a few weeks later in Turkey when she lifted up her burka inside Istanbul's iconic Hagia Sophia, a former Byzantine church and Ottoman mosque which is now a museum, to reveal her genitals for a cheeky picture.
Other pictures shared online in the past include her straddling a flagpole in Israel, and posing topless in the Dead Sea.

The duo, who have previously compared themselves to a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde over their daring photoshoots, were taken to a police station where they were questioned and detained.
Ms Papen said: 'I was right in the middle of putting on my underwear when two police cars suddenly arrived and another four cops approached us on foot, brandishing their batons and saying "passports please".
'There we were again, behind bars in a tiny little cell with dirt and ash on the floor. Jesse and I looked at each other and we burst out laughing.'
Mr Walker and Ms Papen were eventually taken to their Airbnb rental apartment where cops found the large wooden crucifix as well as other props such as priest outfits, fake blood, rosaries and a crown of thorns.
Ms Papen added: 'At first it seemed as though they wanted to take the cross with them, but then they probably agreed that it would be too much hassle to drag it down the stairs of the fifth-floor flat.'

The pair were taken back to the police station, but was eventually released some ten hours after their arrest after the cops took their fingerprints and mugshots at the local courthouse.
Mr Walker said: 'We are willing to put it all on the line for these photoshoots even if it means jail time. It is something we thrive on and are very used to now so it is nothing new.
'I like to think ENKI and Marisa are the two most controversial artists and brand on the planet right now, and that's something I am very proud of.'
Ms Papen said: 'For me, the biggest problem is with the institutions built around religion. They are driven by money and are soulless.'
Ms Papen said a prime example took place on Sunday when she was on St Peter's Square and the Pope appeared from the window to give a short speech and traditional Angelus prayer.

One of Ms Papen's other controversial photoshoots included some nude pictures outside an Egyptian temple
Ms Papen said: 'One of the many beggars on the square caught my eye, a barefoot gypsy lady with badly deformed posture.'
'Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she was shaking her wet paper cup for some coins. All the colourful umbrellas passed by in front of her. It was like nobody even saw her.
'I thought to myself, imagine if the Vatican was a place that actually helped people. Imagine if all these huge churches opened their doors for people in need.'
At the end of 2017, just months after her arrest in Egypt, Ms Papen posed nude to raise awareness and money for wild animals in Africa and in particular in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Her 2018 nude calendar, Ms Papen teamed up with Robert Muir, the British biologist and CEO of Forgotten Parks Foundation, an organisation which protects wildlife and tries to enhance the management of 'forgotten' National Parks in partnership with governments and local communities.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
