Paris Olympics organisers apologise to Christians for Last Supper parody

Apology follows anger among Catholics and other groups at opening ceremony segment that resembled biblical scene

Paris 2024 organisers have apologised to Catholics and other Christian groups angered by a kitsch tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony that parodied Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper painting.

The segment, which resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before his crucifixion and featured drag queens and a singer made up as the Greek god of wine, Dionysus, drew dismay from the Catholic church and the religious right in US.
