Christian faith leaders condemned the alleged mockery of 'The Last Supper' at the 2024 Paris Olympics while some insist the performance was an homage to Greek mythology.
A series of drag queens who appeared to parody the iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting of 'The Last Supper' during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games last Friday swiftly drew condemnation from leaders and Christians across the globe for allegedly mocking Christianity. The performance took place during a floating parade on the River Seine last week and featured drag queens seated around a table with one person, painted blue, sitting atop the table.
That's why I was appalled at the grotesque mockery of the Lord's Supper in the opening ceremonies,' he said in an email to Fox News Digital on Monday. 'This was, as the organizers admitted, exactly what we thought it was: a blasphemous mockery of the Christian faith, which is the bulwark of Western Civilization. Christians are rightly outraged and horrified by it.
