Christians worldwide denounce Last Supper ‘blasphemy’ at Olympics opening ceremony
#parisolympics2024 #openingceremony #lastsupper
The Paris Olympics opening ceremony sparks controversy after a performance featuring drag queens parodying the Last Supper.
The Paris Olympics opening ceremony has ignited a significant controversy, particularly among Christians worldwide, due to a performance that featured drag queens in a scene reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. The ceremony aimed to showcase diversity and inclusion, highlighting LGBTQ references, and concluded with a tableau titled “Festivity.“ This scene included well-known drag queens like Nicky Doll and Paloma, who mimicked the iconic religious image.
The organisers intended to promote inclusivity, but the depiction of the Last Supper scene has sparked a broader debate on the boundaries of artistic representation and religious reverence. While some praised the effort for its boldness and celebration of diversity, many Christians viewed it as blasphemous and disrespectful to their faith. This controversy underscores the complexities of balancing artistic expression and religious sentiments on a global stage, raising important questions about respect, freedom, and the portrayal of sacred symbols in modern art.
