Paris apologises for opening Olympic ceremony in the first place.

The Opening ceremony which people attended for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has made Paris to apologize.

The organizers of the Event came out on Sunday to apologize for any offence that the ceremony might have caused to any religious groups, they also denied any intention to disrespect any religious group too.

But some French Bishops and catholic priest said that some scenes in the Friday’s parade which was staged by the theatre director Thomas Jolly, were seen as mockery to Christianity.

They were scenes of  dancers, drag queens and a DJ in poses that somehow represented the scene of Jesus and his disciples having their last supper.

“Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group,” Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps said to reporters on Sunday.

“If people have taken any offence, we are of course really, really sorry,” she added.

The director of the play denied getting inspiration from the last supper in his production which too place in River Seine.

The scenes according to the Jolly was only met to promote tolerance of different sexual and gender identities.

“The idea was to do a big pagan party linked to the gods of Olympus,” Jolly explained to reporters on Sunday.

“You’ll never find in my work any desire to mock or denigrate anyone. I wanted a ceremony that brings people together, that reconciles, but also a ceremony that affirms our Republican values of liberty, equality and fraternity,” he added.

“Certainly we were not glorifying this instrument of death which is the guillotine,” Jolly added.
