28 Jul 2024 Paris Olympics organizers say they meant no disrespect with 'Last Supper' tableau
Paris Olympics organizers have apologized to any people who were offended by a tableau during Friday’s opening ceremony evoking Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, but defended the concept behind it.
The ceremony’s artistic director Thomas Jolly had distanced his scene from any “Last Supper” parallels after the ceremony, saying it was meant to celebrate diversity and pay tribute to feasting and French gastronomy. Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps was asked about the outcry during an International Olympic Committee news conference on Sunday.
Drag Queens allegedly parody of the Last Supper.
27 Jul 2024 - An Abomination, Blasphemy': Paris Olympics Drag Show Parodying The Last Supper Sparks Outrage
A performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony has sparked backlash, particularly from the Christian community after the show featured drag queens posing behind a table reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of the ‘Last Supper,’ where Jesus dined with his apostles.
One performer wore a large silver headdress resembling a halo, while another was painted blue and adorned with flowers, appearing to symbolise a dish being served at the meal. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly critical and full of rage, with many users calling the performance an “insult” to Catholics.
Baraba Butch posts to her social media account a "gay new testament" as a mock trans version of Da Vinci's Last Supper. Then deletes it. On gas lighting and saying Christians should turn the other cheek in the video. Generalizing the preaching of scripture might be at times an issue. For example, Jesus said 'love one another as I have loved you.' That might be a bit of an individual sliding scale depending on background or upbringing. How they feel God has disciplined and loved them. To put it another way, not everybody has the same gift of hospitality, preaching, teaching, evangelism, etc.
30 Jul 2024 - Paris Olympics Admitted They Intended to MOCK Christians - Reason & Theology
The Last Supper with Jesus represents a New Covenant and continual communion with God.
"In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.'"
(1 Corinthians 11:25)
The Lord's Supper as Confirming the Covenant
It seems clear by Jesus' words at the table that the Last Supper was a kind of covenant meal, where Jesus introduces the New Covenant in his blood:
"Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'" (Matthew 26:27-28)
Each of the apostles are invited -- even commanded -- to drink of the cup, binding them to this covenant.
In 1 Corinthians 11:25 Jesus' command extends beyond that special night: "Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." While the text doesn't say so, I believe that whenever we celebrate the Lord's Supper we are sharing a Covenant Meal at Jesus' Table. We eat his Bread and drink his Wine, and so renew our commitment to the New Covenant he established so many years ago.
