Shrek: Filipino Woman Realises She Worshipped Cartoon Statue for Four Years
A woman in the Philippines has gone viral after discovering that a statue she had worshipped every day for four years was not a Buddha, but a 3D-printed figure of Shrek.
The woman, who lives in Manila, bought the green statue from a local shop. She believed it was a Buddha because of its round shape and peaceful look. She placed it on her home altar and regularly offered incense and prayers, asking for blessings.
The truth came out when a friend visited her home and noticed the statue’s bright green colour and unusual face. After taking a closer look, they realised it was actually Shrek, the animated character from the popular film series.
Instead of feeling upset or embarrassed, the woman reportedly laughed. She said her prayers were honest and came from the heart, adding that faith and good intentions matter more than the appearance of a statue.
