2024 Summer Olympics

At the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, a segment that some have claimed was called La Cène sur la scène sur la Seine ("The Last Supper on the stage on the Seine") involving drag queens that was variously claimed to parody The Last Supper or a feast with Dionysus was widely criticised by some Christian conservatives and religious leaders, who alleged that it was mocking Christianity. This claim was later debunked when the Olympic World Library published the media guide (written before the ceremony) which mentioned it being a homage to cultural festivities as the segment is actually called Festivité ("Festivity/Celebration"). According to Georgian fact checking website, Myth Detector, many experts had pointed out the differences between the fresco and the segment.
