Is this the new way to offend Christians: Beyonce's 'Last Supper' pic causes controversy just hour after apologizing for using audio from Challenger tragedy on XO

Hours after apologising for using audio from the fatal Challenger mission for her song XO, Beyonce may be stirring up a new controversy with a quasi-religious Instagram snap posted on Monday.

In the photo, the pop superstar poses in front of a modern take on The Last Supper, painted by Leonardo DaVinci in the late 1490s that depicted Jesus's last meal with his disciples before his crucifixion.

Bey is sitting in front of the Messiah's spot in the middle of the table, wearing a lime green mini-skirt and revealing yellow bustiere with skinny straps and orange edging.

The 32-year-old did not add a caption to the snap leaving fans to conjecture on the meaning. 

One posted: '__edenk87__ She's over being Queen Bey! I think she goin for Beysus!!! #notcool! I ain't feeling this shot... @ezwihapi'

But others just enjoyed the image without worrying about any possible connotations.

She needs to be a little more sensitive and not just think of making money. Sometimes our intentions might be good but we need to be careful how we go about it.
