Critics Blast Tableau in Olympic Opening Ceremony
Performance Draws Criticism from Christian Community
Christian Community Offended by Tableau
A performance during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony on Friday has drawn criticism from some Christian groups who found the performance offensive, according to multiple news sources.
The tableau, which was part of the opening ceremony, featured a group of performers dressed as cardinals and bishops, including one who was seen lying on a table with a red cloth draped over him, resembling Jesus Christ at the Last Supper.
The performance has been condemned by some Christian groups, who have accused the organizers of being disrespectful to their religion. The organizers have since apologized for any offense caused, saying that it was never their intention to show disrespect to any religious group.
