Mockery at the Olympics Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris stirred significant controversy with performances perceived as mockery of Christianity. The inclusion of drag queens alongside a fashion show resembling Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper was particularly offensive to many Christians. This display was seen as a blatant disregard for the sacredness of the Last Supper, an important event in Christian theology. Participants wearing increasingly provocative costumes, including a portrayal of Dionysus, were interpreted by many as a celebration of paganism and immorality.
