A group of Catholics gathered outside the French Consulate on West Parliament Square in Edinburgh to pray the Rosary in “reparation for the sins committed" during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
Another similar prayer meeting is organised for Friday 2 August outside the French Embassy in London.
Sam U Ho, 30, and his wife Joanna, 27, set about organising the meeting in Edinburgh at short notice on the morning of 29 July, following shock around the world at a drag queen-themed parody of the Last Supper that occurred during the opening ceremony to the Olympic Games on 26 July.
The next day, on 30 July, some 20 Catholics of disparate backgrounds took to their knees outside the Consulate building on Edinburgh’s West Parliament Square to offer reparation for blasphemy against Jesus Christ, the Eucharist and the Apostles in the Olympics’ mocking and hyper-sexualised, transgender-themed Last Supper scene.
