I’M dismayed and angry that respected company Greggs have replaced the infant Jesus with a half-eaten sausage roll in a nativity scene advertisement for their advent calendar (Echo, Nov 16).

What sort of message is the company sending out by saying that a mass produced snack is more important than the saviour of the world? I can think of nothing more offensive.

I understand that Greggs need to promote their best selling products but surely this is a deliberate, fully intended insult by the company to denigrate the beautiful meaning behind Christmas. Talk about religious defamation.
