Opening scene of the Paris 2024 Olympics

Paris Olympics organizers have apologised to anyone who "was offended by a scene that evoked Leonardo da Vinci's 'Last Supper' during the opening ceremony.

Da Vinci's painting depicts the moment Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him. The scene during Friday's ceremony featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch, an LGBTQ community icon, surrounded by artists and dancers some dressed as transgender people.

Religious conservatives from around the world condemned the segment, with the French Catholic Church's conference of bishops condemning "scenes of mockery" that they said mocked Christianity. The Anglican community in Egypt also expressed its "deep regret" on Sunday, saying the ceremony could cause the Olympics to "lose its special sporting identity and humanitarian message."

The ceremony's artistic director, Thomas Jolly, had distanced his stage from any "Last Supper" parallels after the ceremony, saying it was meant to celebrate diversity and reflect the feasts of French gastronomy. Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps was asked about the protests during an International Olympic Committee press conference on Sunday.

"There was clearly never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. "I think [with] Thomas Jolly, we really tried to celebrate the tolerance of the community," Descamps said. "Given the results of the polls we shared, we believe that this ambition has been achieved. "If people have offended, of course, we're very sorry," she said.

"My wish is not to be subversive, nor to mock or cause shock," Jolly said. "Mostly, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion, and not at all to divide," she concluded.
