Mea Culpa – Deadline Designs

25 10 2008

This is a design like no other in my collection because it is rather gothic and dark. It is inspired on the Spanish culture, in a day called The Day of the Nazarene, in which the participants of the ceremony slash their naked backs for several hours and walk on their bleeding knees to fulfill the promises given to the Nazarene Christ. I think the ritual was originated during the Inquisition when Torquemada ruled. The Latin phrase ‘Mea Culpa’ means ‘I’m guilty’ and it was popularized in a song by the group Enigma, one of my favorite musical groups.

The design will be submitted to Threadless site as soon as I figure out the neat effects they have. For now, to order the design item, go to this section. I assure you it is an attention-grabber design if you dare to wear. Thanks.
