Posts misidentify old videos as Paris Olympics torch lighting
Associated PressCLAIM: A video shows the Olympic torch being lit at a church in Paris. One from 2023 shows an Easter tradition in Florence, Italy, called the Scoppio del Carro, which translates to the Explosion of the Cart. “Lighting of the olympic torch, from a París church,” reads one X post that had received more than 6,700 likes and shares as of Friday. “An extraordinary show, Happy Easter.” Distinct architectural details, such as three stained glass windows behind the altar and a large clock above the main door, can be seen in the clip and on the website of the Florence cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore. Rammstein went on a European stadium tour in 2023 and although it is unclear which city the clip shows, the same stunt can be seen in images posted on the group’s official Instagram.
