Jesus with breasts and a dress?
No, this is Saint Wilgefortis in the museum of Graz in Austria.
She was a Christian teenager who's hand in marriage had been promised to a Muslim king.
She was not keen, to put it mildly, so she started praying, asking God to help out.

This is the FINAL time I will explain the difference between ice dance and pairs. Ice dancers have wider, U-shaped snouts, while pair skater snouts are more pointed and V-shaped. Pair skaters prefer saltwater habitats, while ice dancers inhabit freshwater marshes and lakes.
