Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Amen, more commonly known as The Pederasty (“La pederastia” in Spanish), is a conceptual, critical and process artwork by Abel Azcona. Over several months, Azcona attended Eucharists in churches and parishes that were linked to his childhood. (Azcona had received a Catholic education from the age of seven following his adoption.) In the churches, the artist keeps the wafer or consecrated host given to the attendees of the communion. He gathered two hundred and forty-two wafers, which was the number of cases of pederasty reported in the north of Spain during the previous decade. With the wafers, he made a work in which the word Pederasty could be read. The work was first exhibited at a central Madrid art gallery in the summer of 2015.[1]
