Truth : Christians in France did not pray in streets to protest Paris Olympics!
This is yet another example of fake news being propagated on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Was Recorded In 2022
Let me start by pointing out that the viral video, which appears to show thousands of Christians praying together at night, wasn’t recorded recently.
It was actually recorded on 15 August 2022 – almost 2 years ago, at the Sanctuary of Our Lady Lourdes, a Catholic Church in Lourdes, France.
Why would anyone claim or suggest that this video was taken recently???

Fact #2 : It Was For The Feast of the Assumption
The Christians seen in the video were not praying in protest of the Paris Olympics in 2024. Rather, they were celebrating The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In fact, the video appears to have been “stolen” from the Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Lourdes, which posted the original video on X and Facebook on 15 August 2022, with this caption:
Belle et heureuse fête de l’Assomption à tous. En union de prière avec tous les catholiques du monde. Que la Vierge Marie resplendisse dans vos cœurs 🙏
Translated : Beautiful and happy Assumption Day to all. In union of prayer with all the Catholics of the world. May the Virgin Mary shine in your hearts 🙏
The viral video is obviously unrelated to the recent Paris Olympics Last Supper controversy. Why would anyone misuse / misappropriate this video to suggest otherwise???

Fact #3 : Paris Olympics Apologised For Controversy
The Paris Olympics 2024 organisers have publicly apologised for the controversy, even while it continues to deny that the scene had anything to do with The Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, I think (with) Thomas Jolly, we really did try to celebrate community tolerance.
Looking at the result of the polls that we shared, we believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are, of course, really, really sorry.
– Paris Olympics 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps
