One of the featured acts for the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Paris on Friday was a drag performance that recreated the Last Supper, the final time that Jesus broke bread with his disciples before he was arrested and hung on a cross.

The burlesque act that mocked one of Christianity’s most sacred moments shocked Christians around the world. The Last Supper marks the first-ever sacrament of Holy Communion, through which Christians are symbolically united with Christ and receive His grace and forgiveness.

The Last Supper living diorama was not the only drag event starting the Olympics. The Friday night show featured men in drag grotesquely parading, gyrating, and preening for the thousands of people from around the world who are attending the opening ceremony, which is scheduled to last three hours.

“Queens everywhere! We couldn’t be happier about this huge moment for drag performers breaking through the mainstream and showing their talents to the entire world,” wrote Out magazine, a publication for LGBTQ. Some 320,000 are expected to be in Paris for the international athletics competition.

The show this year is a far cry from the opening ceremony in 2008, when 2,008 drummers performed at the Beijing Olympics.

  1. So when the world stage is on France to show itself in its best light, they go sacrilegious drag.

    Let the Muslims have France.

    • I am surprised the muslims allowed it, or the organizers did not stop it in order to avoid offending the religion of perpetual offense.

      • I speculate that due to the large Muslim population in France the “Last Supper” was deliberately chosen. It allowed devout Muslims to point the finger at Christians and Western debauchery turning on itself, without having to see it as a personal affront.

    • Not watching and don’t care about the Olympics. This like everything else has gone to crap with the libs involved.

  2. During the late 18th Century, French liberals called for the abolition of private property. In the most recent French political cycle socialists have emerged as the leading political movement in France. This comes following France’s full and relatively recent recommitment to NATO in 2009 (France was one of the original 12 founding members of NATO following WWII, but pulled away in 1966). In response to opportunities to expand European socialism through NATO, France has increased its participation in NATO operations both with personnel and through financial contributions. Nonetheless, the United States continues to subsidize NATO, France, and France’s involvement in NATO.

  3. Pardon my French, but WTF?!
    I like the Olympics but I’m not watching a single second of this nonsense.

    • I hope you at least root for/cheer American Athlete’s to win in the Olympics as we are the greatest nation on earth.
      These young people need your support and let France be France, after all, they helped us win the revolutionary war 😉

    • Really? When is the last time a Christian went nuclear over being misgendered?

      Or getting pronouns wrong?

      I realize you have nothing to contribute, but I’m curious why you did? Need an ego bump by (in your mind) owning the poor chuds?

      Speaks far more to your insecurity than ours.

      • Religion was invented by man to stave off the fear of death.
        Christian, muslim, hindu, all figments of imagination.

        • 3rd Generation, apparently you believe the entire cosmos, and everything within it, popped into existence all by itself in the void of space. Then, somehow, life itself just inexplicably appeared. To be sure, holding such beliefs is a religion in its own right; a religion that requires far more faith than believing in a creator existing in a spiritual dimension unbound by the laws of His creation. Being human makes you religious by nature; the only difference between you and us is what you believe in. Your rebellion against the one true creator-god of the cosmos is nothing new. It has plagued mankind since the creation. However, if you sincerely ask Him, Yahweh will reveal Himself to you. We are praying for you.

          • The cosmos always existed, time and space has no beginning and no end. Trillions of stars, planets, galaxies, universes and more than that.
            Summarize, a super natural being in the imagine of a human earthling did not make it.

      • This wasn’t even a depiction of the Last Supper. It was the feast of Dionysus. Funny how Christians are getting so upset over not even knowing their own religion.

        • You are perhaps the only one who didn’t see the Last Supper rendition in it and only saw the Dionysus, naked blue man part of the show. Maybe you saw the guy with his ball hanging out behind naked blue man or was that just a fig that got loose in his pants? Maybe you saw the child performing with drag queens? And if it was not offensive, as millions believe it is, then why are the Olympic organizers now apologizing and why did they take the video down of the performance? Try harder.

          • They took it down because of people like you. Who see something where it was not. Who see offensive when none was intended. Who don’t know art or Greek Gods. Who find bad where there was only good. Evil is in the eye of the beholder.

            • First:
              Evil is Evil and never in the eye of the beholder.

              Second:
              Sure right everyone knows Bacchus/Dionysus the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, theater and the frenzy he is said to induce called baccheia. That Bacchus!
              Yeah right! If you think that this tableau was not intentionally depicted to irritate believers, you are deliberately obtuse. DaVinci’s last supper is famous around the world and certainly much more well known to believers and non-Christians alike than Greek/Roman mythology.
              If this were truly a display for this obscure Greek/Roman god, it would have made more sense to use a scene from of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as there is certainly lots of nymph action in that play!

              So what does that have to do with the Olympics exactly?

        • What does the Last Supper have to do with the Olympics? It doesn’t, which explains that it was indeed a depiction of a GREEK Bacchanal. We can learn a lot from history books.

          • So what does obscure Greek orgy and debauchery have to do with the Olympic games? Nothing!
            The ancient Greek’s Olympic Games were athletic competitions between city-states in honor of ZEUS!
            These were serious business, as an “Olympia Truce” was announced to allow athletes to travel to the competition safely. It was also a way for city-states to assert dominance over other city-states.

    • Wonder what you would say if that mocked Muslims. Drag queen is adult entertainment and many of us are tired of this agenda being pushed on us. If they think this will help with ratings they are sorely wrong. This has no place in Olympics, period! Oh and just because we have morals and hold ourselves to those morals doesn’t mean we are sensitive snowflakes! I assure if the opposite was happening we would all be crucified!

      • My church used to have womanless weddings. What’s the difference? Men wearing women’s clothing. They are not hurting you! They are making sure everyone is included in the opening. All are welcome.

        • So, a 50-yr old man could marry a 7-yr old girl, or a 2-yr old German Shepherd in your church? “What’s the difference, they are not hurting you, all are welcome,” right?

        • Out of curiosity, I would be interested to know what denomination of church yours is and why your church had womanless weddings? Seems rather exclusionary considering that you say “All are welcome”.
          You do you, I just like to understand what makes others do what they do.

      • Yeah – and remember how horrified we all were by what we viewed as the ridiculous response to it? Same here.

    • My concern is not for me as a Christian, but for them. Because the Bible teaches if you take communion With disregard that you will die. So the majority of those people on that stage are going to die in short order if the ate bread and drank wine or juice. God will not be mocked..I did not watch it. Like Jesus said. Forgive them for they know not what they do.

    • No, we don’t openly Mock these abominations as they do our Religion on countless occasions. These Neurotic, sinful, and honestly demonic people find the need to mock our Religion and most importantly our God. It is blasphemy. Giving the heart or “love” symbol while openly mocking the greatest example of Love is another slap in the face. It’s grotesque, France should be ashamed.

    • Want to see overly sensitive.
      What do you think would have happened if they mocked islam, mohammed, or the koran?

    • Imagine if they did a rendition on Muhammad, mocking Muslim’s core beliefs. Riots, burning, vandalism, murder would ensue (it happens every time). Instead, Christians state their disgust. Snowflake? I believe your indictment may be misplaced. Christians allow others daily to state their disgust with Christianity and do not choose to burn down cities or vandalize their critics’ beliefs or shrines. That projection of snowflakes is made because you know Christians won’t go into conniption fits. It’s safe. Call a Muslim a snowflake. Nope, I wouldn’t either!

    • “Christians are overly sensitive snowflakes”

      No, they are a convenient and safe object of ridicule and disdain.
      Those, who place themselves or some cult-like issue at the center of their world view, know full well not to make fun of any other religion, especially Islam.

      Ask Salman Rushdie or the staff of Charlie Hebdo about that!

      But Christianity they can insult at leisure without the fear of reprisal. They often proclaimed supposed tolerance and respectful co-existence, yet the lack thereof is on full display here.

      If there is no God, why go to so much effort to mock “nothing”?

  7. That was in poor taste but then again, Christianity and other religious BS taught as if it were real is pretty offensive to thinking individuals.

    • Einstein
      Jefferson, Adams, even Franklin.
      Tolkien.
      Pascal, Newton, Bacon.
      Martin King.
      Philip Rivers.
      Denzel Washington.
      Handel
      CS Lewis.
      Colin Powell.
      Sam Walton.
      Carla Harris.
      Desmond Tutu.

      And the list goes on and on and on. Far longer and far deeper than your limited understanding can grasp.

      It appears, this clam is far from Scrumptious. Seems rotting and decaying is a bit closer.

  8. I turned it off…absolutely disgusting. Watching with my family. My youngest, just six. Asking, “why men are wearing make up and dresses?”
    The men began kissing and I shut it off.
    Beginning to think the rumors are true about Emmanuel Macron and his Trans/Groomer “wife!”

  11. Mon Dieu! Just imagine if they had instead mocked the Muslim faith to this degree today. But they wouldn’t do that as it would be politically incorrect.

    I would never say this but there are people who would ask, where are the National Socialist German Workers Party when they might be needed?

    The Juneau Assembly made a grant of taxpayer money to “teach drag queen lessons.” Perhaps the Juneau city government officials could watch this Paris performance and grade it. I keep hoping that Juneau voters will give their Assembly a failing grade by replacing the noisome nine but the public employee unions, Planned Parenthood, SNAP and homeless advocates, and downtown Democrats are able to keep the pervert protectors in place year after year despite the incompetence.

    • You can hope, but simple fact is we (common sense, regardless of politics) are outnumbered by people who bother to vote.

    • The Austrian painter hosted a very nice Olympics free from all such degenerates and was very kind to Jesse Owens. Brought back the torch lighting ceremony too.

  12. More lower consciousness rituals.

    All lesser gods need attention to survive. These performances are merely spectacle to draw your attention.

    This all ends when you just stop looking at them.
    This ends when their performances have no audience.
    This ends when we turn our attention inward and reignite the flame of our own existence and live as the loving gods we are.

  13. Thanks for posting the short video of the 2008 drummers. That was really awesome–I hadn’t seen it before. As far as the “Last Supper” thing, it’s almost unbelievable.

    • Absolutely disgusting and blasphemy. Democrats advocate for this insane group of offensive people. Christianity is above all this smut. We need to come together and put an end to this incredible waste

  14. Wow. That’s a stretch. Not every group of folks standing around what appears to be a table (but is actually a fashion cat walk) is a Da Vinci painting.

    The person in the middle is dressed as Lady Liberty not Jesus. Can’t quite understand why folks can’t tell the difference.

    • Barbara Butch, lesbian activist who plays the Jesus figure in the tableau, said on social media that it was “The New Gay Testament.” But you go with the lady liberty version because make believe is fun. Do you also think that the man’s ball hanging out on the stage is also something else besides a testicle, and that the child on the stage was something other than a child?

  16. This is a disgrace an abomination I nation all Christians should be appalled an offended whatbis this world coming too unbelievable whoever all I wed this should be fired I am so angry with all the crap going on I. This world we dont need this an insult I am furious

    • Oh, and by the way, I’m pretty sure Jesus would have welcomed the LGBTQ at his table. Would you?

      • Jesus would have absolutely welcomed them at his table. So would most every Christian out there.
        That does not mean Jesus would have been OK with a public display of sacrilegious imagery, or public celebration of perversion.
        .
        Please do not confuse an individual’s actions toward the LGBTQWERTYWHATEVER+ community, and a lack of tolerance for public displays as somehow equivalent. I could care less about someone’s sexual orientation, if you are gay, fine, be gay. However, I do not want to be subject to gays acting in a sexual manner in public because of “pride.”
        .
        And, if you cannot tell the difference, that is your problem.

      • Well, W, any cursory reading of the recorded teachings of Jesus and of the entire Scriptures should cause you to be “pretty sure” that, among several other things, one must sincerely repent (“God, be merciful to me, a sinner”) and cease from immoral conduct in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. According to Jesus, those are the only people whom he will welcome at his table.

      • Jesus welcomes all to his table, the money changer, the prostitute, the leper, the poor etc. because He does not see them defined by their sin, but as children of God worthy of redemption.
        He also continuously spoke out against the Pharisees as a group and their “fake religiousness” for self-aggrandizement and power, yet He spent time teaching and answering Nicodemus, a Pharisee’s.
        So the question you should really be asking is:
        The table is set, but will they come?

  17. I am appalled at the OIC having THIS be allowed at the Olympics! As a Christian this is so insulting and degrading to my belief. It is like burning a cross and so much worse! My Lord and Saviour is mocked and our sacrament of breaking bread and its meaning is ridiculed by this woke group of people and an organization that is suppose to support peace, friendship and mutual understanding. This performance was meant to promoted cruelty, unkindness and animosity! I Have been a faithful watcher of the Olympics, however; I WILL NOT WATCH one more second of the 2024 Olympics in PARIS! And the world wonders what is going on in this world with all the fires, floods and disasters, God is showing us what happens when evil takes power and is allowed to go unchecked! Heavenly Father you teach us not to judge, forgive me for my weakness. Let love be genuine. ABHOR what is evil; HOLDFAST to what is good. Romans 12:9

    • You have been taken in by the religion industry, but it’s not your fault. Your parents probably indoctrinated you at a young age, and now you can’t cast it off in spite of your doubts, lest you expose yourself as foolish and gullible. See the Light. Let it go.

  18. Sad dishonorable travesty and I feel bad for the athletes. The first thing that comes to mind are some of God’s Words.

    Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…..Isaiah 5:20

    Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight. Isaiah 5:21

    Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. Romans 1:28-32

    Not my words, God’s.

    • A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. -John 13:34-35

      • Ah, yes.
        The mistaken belief that loving the sinner, but condemning the sin is a conflict.
        .
        There is a difference between loving the human, loving each other, and supporting public displays of mockery.

      • “………love one another; as I have loved you………”
        Any evidence He had sex with anyone?

  19. A last supper for the homosexual community before they sacrifice themselves sounds like a great idea. How can they be helped in this worthy goal?

      • No judgement there.
        By publicly sinning, they are making a clear statement about their future intent. They have no desire to seek forgiveness for their sin. And, that is why God’s wrath will fall upon them.

  24. While I am a generally tolerant person with progressive values, I find this depiction to be in poor taste, and reflecting ignorance of a religious tradition. The Last Supper is an iconic moment in Christian tradition, reflecting the anguish of Jesus as he contemplated his impending suffering.It is not something for kitschy entertainment. I would not direct vitriol at the drag queens, however. Rather, I would try to enlighten them on how their actions disrespect a solemn event. Such “in your face” performances, while gaining initial attention, only show us the need for more intelligent understanding of what groups of people hold worthy of respect. Drag queens, if you desire respect, then show respect in kind. Hopefully, you will come to regret this performance, and learn more about why some people hold the Last Supper in reverence. And by the way, I am not a Christian.

  25. Every Christian up in arms about people existing is a goddamned fool and a complete moron. You religious people have no semblance of actual intelligence. The sooner you and your kind die off, the sooner the rest of us can move into the future. The amount of hate spread by Chrisitians every single minute of every single day is truly astounding.

    No Christian knows what Love is. They only believe on conquest.

    • Sigh! The “inclusive and tolerant” are at it again, railing against that which they do not find acceptable to their group think!

      “The sooner you die off we can move on to the future” Hmm I wonder what kind of a future that will be. “Lord of the Flies” or “Animal Farm/1984” comes to mind.

      Can you substantiate your hyperbole of “hate every minute of every day”?

      So these performers demeaned a central tenet of Christian faith and are now upset that people noticed??
      Really??
      What did they expect?
      That we all will celebrate this debauchery with them?
      Get real!

  26. For the most part, there’s nothing really wrong with Christian thought and ideology. In fact, there’s a lot to like. But when it comes to Christian theology – immaculate conception, eternal life, omnipotent and omnipresent God, miracles, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Limbo, Transubstantiation, and the like, well, that’s all just a load of rubbish – completely fabricated by Man’s imagination, and without a single shred of proof. Fodder for the weak and gullible.

    • What you’ve described is specifically Catholic theology, and most of the things on your list would never be proposed as authentic theology by non-Catholic Christians. Makes me wonder if you were baptized and raised Catholic?

    • Well then, pat yourself on the back for not falling for any of it. But disparaging others who embrace their faith is despicable. You don’t agree with others’ faith, fine. But don’t sh*t on them for having their faith. Just go your own way and leave them be.

      • Sorry, I just find it hard to respect people who believe nonsense. The pious have been granted special deference and held in high esteem for far too long. Furthermore, if their “belief” can’t stand up to a challenge, then I question how deep their faith and commitment really are.

        And many Christians denigrate Muslims for their belief in a fake Prophet, claiming that they will be eternally damned for it. I guess then by your rationale that is also “despicable”?

        What’s wrong with you??

  27. Very offensive and disrespectful for over 2.3 billion Christians in the world!
    What this mockery act has to do with sport!
    Where is the right to be respectful to everyone. Very disappointed ☹️of France, a country of Christian roots!
    I won’t be watching the Olympic Games. An event that should unite countries and cultures.

  29. As I recall, France set up a prostitute as the goddess of Reason. Their revolution was one of the most disgusting and brutal events ever to take place on earth. They are now also celebrating the decapitation of Marie Antoinette. It appears that they are trying to recreate the French Revolution, which was the forerunner of modern communism. Is there a message in that, other than that they despise genuine faith?

    • In fact, French children today -and for 20 years+ now- are taught that their nation’s history began WITH the French Revolution.

      Such a sad, complete rejection of the rich history of one of the oldest nations in Europe! And with the rejection of their history goes their rejection of the Catholic Faith.

  30. Man-made climate change was invented to cripple the world. LGBTQ politics was invented to kill it off. That’s how Satan operates.

  31. “Thomas Jolly (born 1 February 1982 in Rouen) from a jewish family… the artistic director of the ceremonies for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris”
    That information was publicly available on his wikipedia article.
    Somehow though… zero bearing on a grave intentional insult to Christianity.

  32. I wasted 5 years learning the French language. What a waste! Disgusting depiction by those evil drag queens.

    • Pas de gaspillage, une belle chose, apprendre le français, signe d’un esprit intelligent…
      .
      Qui abandonne la langue, la religion, le drapeau, les enfants, la culture, le pays, simplement parce que des déviants travestis les profanent?

  33. That’s it… Out family won’t watch it.
    Let them get the lowest stream rating possible. It’s a respond that might teach them a good lesson. If 2 billions of Christians turn off TV, that would be a decent respond.

  34. My family, 5+ households, will not be watching the Olympics this year. Perhaps never again. I will not support WOKE behavior. I’m saddened that such a great organization has caved to the political left. However, I am certain of one thing. God is watching. And His response will not be as calm as mine.

  36. Awesome everyone you got old Whidbey the nut clutching his chest. I can almost hear the Demons screaming trying to protect him. I have not seen him so wound up in any of these must read articles. It’s telling for sure. Interesting how demonic people reveal themselves. Everyone needs to pray for old whidbey to see the light.

  37. As for France it would be interesting to know how supportive the countrymen there are of this insanity. It’s a very small minority of people in this country that tolerate this crap.

  38. To the left, the mocking of Christianity is fair game, Islam, not so much. Christians must be much more vocal in the defense of their faith. Starting with the pastors. Unfortunately most pastors avoid talking about the tenants of their faith for fear of making their congregation ‘uncomfortable’. That might lead to them being eased out. Meanwhile, the ‘faith’ gets increasingly commingled with current cultural darkness. We must “put on the armor of God so that you might be able to stand against treachery of the devil.”

  39. Not that MRAK cares anything about accuracy but it wasn’t actually the Last Supper being depicted. It was a Greek Bacchanal. You know, because the Olympics started in Ancient Greece? Understand? It’s amazing how conservatives go out of their way to be offended.

    • cman, there you go reading Newsweek again for your talking points. if you compare the painting of the Last Supper with the painting that you are hearing about from your social media accounts, it’s no contest. Here is the Feast of Dionysus you are being told to refer to: ‘https://www.greekmythologyinart.com/feast-of-the-gods-rottenhammer.html
      Only a malnourished, agri-monoculturalist such as yourself could mistake this tableau that was depicting the Last Supper for something else, like… rottenhammer’s painting or pilgrims celebrating Thanksgiving or something else, like your mom’s family reunion. The lead actress herself, a lesbian activist, even calls it the “Gay Last Supper” on social media. And get back to me about those testicles hanging out of that guy’s speedo. And the blue man, that was a nice touch of pagan to throw onto the plate of the mockery of Christians.

  41. They wouldn’t dare to something like this with iconography of Islamic events or theology.

  42. Watching hillbillies who have never owned a passport vowing to boycott France will never stop being funny.
