The 2024 Olympics in Paris has sparked significant controversy, particularly surrounding the closing ceremony poster, which some critics claim features satanic imagery. Following backlash from the Christian community over the opening ceremony’s depiction of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” organizers issued an apology, which many deemed insincere.

The closing ceremony poster, set against a black background, showcases a radiant figure descending onto a globe, with the word “RECORDS” prominently displayed. This imagery has drawn comparisons to the biblical fall of Lucifer, with social media users and religious leaders interpreting it as a nod to satanic themes. The stark colors and the descent of the figure evoke the narrative of Lucifer’s fall, as described in Isaiah 14:12.
The performance itself opened with a concept of a Flat Earth, featuring angular landmasses and a creature resembling a lizard or insect overseeing excavations. This creature led individuals to raise a device that transformed into Olympic rings. The show also included the appearance of a “Silver Knight” and the Greek flag, alongside the presumed unearthing of the Nike of Samothrace, which many observers felt resembled a headless angel alongside a golden effigy of Lucifer.
While some conspiracy theorists speculated about a potential ritualistic sacrifice during the event, it concluded with a performance by Kavinsky and Angèle, which deviated from these expectations. The artistic direction of the ceremony has been described as avant-garde, portraying extraterrestrial beings and humanity’s potential to construct a celestial bridge, possibly hinting at projects like CERN.
Ultimately, the 2024 Olympics has been characterized by critics as a display of sinister themes, revealing the true nature of its organizers. The event’s artistic choices have led to a broader discussion about the implications of such imagery in a global forum.
