Sports Dedicated to Greek gods

High Priestess & Witch of Hera
Thaleia Prokopiou
calls fire down from heaven
in prayer To Apollo

"Apollo, god of the sun and the
idea of the light, send your rays
and light this holy torch for the
hospitable city of Sydney."

High Priestess
Thaleia Prokopiou

lights Olympic torch
with fire called down from heaven


Thaleia Prokopiou, the 28-year-old
high priestess invites all to kneel
to the gods as she lights the Olympic
flame from an ancient device used
to call fire down from heaven.  She
led a ceremony involving 20 other
witches dressed in pleated, cream-
colored robes. They marched out
of the ruins of the temple of Hera and
danced before Deus (Zeus) to the
beat of a drum. They took the fire
to the sacred altar of Hera and there
lit the Olympic torch. Hera is the
wife of Deus (Zeus), one of the most
important goddesses in the ancient
Greek pantheon of gods.


We dance, dance, to thee O Zeus
god of heaven and earth.
We dance, dance, to thee O Hera
bless the games we pray.
We dance, dance, to thee O Apollo
god of the games.

High Priestess
Thaleia Prokopiou
worships Deus (Zeus)

"Oh Apollo, god of the divine sun
and idea of light you have sent
your rays and the
sacred torch

was lit. Now you, god Deus (Zeus), bless all the peoples of
the world with peace and crown
those who have mastered the

sacred contest
."


Taking the sacred flame
to the nations
for them to worship in the
form of
sacred sports


High Priestess & Olympic Witch
Thaleia Prokopiou

The name of Jesus Messiah is censored and banned at the International Olympics but the names of pagan gods are not only invoked but the games and the metals (gold. silver, and bronze) blessed to the winners in their names.

The name of Jesus Christ is censored and banned from all professional sports events  This name is not allowed to be mentioned on the public address systems in prayer or song.  While the Olympic contenders wear the pagan symbol of the five looped circles, they are not allowed to wear any emblem or symbol of Christianity upon their clothing.

The sacred fire of the Olympics is ignited in a temple erected to honor Hera, a powerful wife queen of Zeus. Her temple of worship stands at the place of the Olympic Games of antiquity, a cypress-shaded archaeological site in Olympia where the first recorded Games were held in 776 BC.

The ancient Greek high priestess of the cult of Hera kindled the flame using a skaphia (a type of crucible) which was positioned facing the sun. The rays from the sun god were concentrated there and set fire to dry grass.

The modern use of a parabolic mirror replaces this ancient device and is directly inspired by this ancient ceremony. The high priestess of the Olympia cult kindles the flame, assisted by harlot vestals who are the only people authorized to enter the sanctuary area when the flame is being kindled. The flame once kindled is then carried to the site of the public ceremony and handed to the first runner. This initial runner first carries the flame to the foot of the monument in which the heart of Baron de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, is interred. From the temple of Hera at Olympia, the flame is carried across Greece to Athens, and in a ceremony at the Panathenian Stadium in honor to all the other Greek gods, the flame is handed over to the representatives for the Games that begin the new Olympiad.

The Olympic flame first became a tradition of the modern Olympic Games when an Olympic flame was kindled and remained burning at the entrance to the Olympic Stadium throughout the 1928 Amsterdam Games. The lighting of the flame captured the public's imagination for the Greek gods Apollo and Zeus and has remained a traditional ceremony for the Opening Ceremonies of the Games. On July 20,1936, a young Greek, Konstantin Kondylis, became the first runner in the history of the modern Olympic Torch Relay. He left Olympia, torch in hand, launching a tradition that has become an integral component of each Olympic Games to dedicate them to the Greek gods.

Technically, the torch relay does not represent the passing of a torch, but celebrates the passing of the sacred flame of the Greek gods from one torch to the next. The Olympic flame represents the light of spirit, knowledge and life. By passing the flame from one person to another in stages, the Torch Relay expresses the handing down of this symbolic fire from the Greek gods to each generation.

Is the fire that burns over all the Olympic games idolatry, since it burns unto Deus, Hera, and Apollo?
Are the Olympics a form of idolatry?
Should Christians carry the Olympic torch?
Should Christians stay away from sports events, especially when the name of Jesus is not allowed to be invoked but the name of three pagan gods are(Deus, Hera, and Apollo)?

The cult of sports has swept Christians away from Calvary back to the pagan and heathen gods of Greece.
I waited for the Christian denominations to say something about the Olympics but they said nothing.

If this witch of Hera, Deus, and Apollo, can call fire down from heaven and millions run with it all over the world in a massive open display of rejecting Jesus as the true light of the world, what will happen when a false prophet/priest calls fire down from heaven in Jerusalem on a sacrifice on the temple mount? How many will forsake Jesus Christ to go back under the religion of Pharisee Judaism now known as Talmudism?
