Paris Olympics Organisers Really Sorry For Last Supper As US Sponsor Pulls Out After Backlash

The opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympic Games has sparked a furious backlash from Christian viewers around the world. The 2024 Paris games organisers have apologised to Christian groups angered by a tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony. The tableau had parodied Leonardo Da Vinci s famous The Last Supper painting. The segment resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before crucifixion. It featured drag queens, a transgender model and a naked singer who represented the Greek god of wine Dionysus. The parody drew sharp criticism from the Catholic Church and the religious right. , olympics2024, parisolympics2024, paris, france, worldnews, games, olympics n18ocworld n18occrux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 3:12 THE LAST SUPPER SPARKS OUTRAGE 5:03 NETIZENS SEEK TO CLARIFY MISUNDERSTANDING AROUND THE LAST SUPPER PARODY Footage: Reuters, AP, IOC CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our wor
