Olympics Closing Ceremony Criticized for ‘Lucifer’ Scene and Satanic Imagery
The closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics has come under scrutiny following accusations of “Satanic imagery” from some social media users.
The controversy centres around a performance featuring a character called “The Golden Voyager” and a prominent ancient Greek statue, the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
During the ceremony, the character “The Golden Voyager” and the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue were featured prominently.
Some viewers took to social media, alleging that the portrayal had satanic connotations.
One user on X described the scene as a “headless one-winged angel ascending to the sky as a satanic golden horned bird figure watches on,” suggesting a connection to occult symbolism.
Another comment on social media claimed, “The Olympics opened by mocking Christianity and ended with a satanic ritual.”
These comments reflect concerns that the ceremony contained elements that some interpreted as controversial or offensive.
