SatanCon attendees flaunt the Satanic Salute Devil horns hand sign. Note how many are wearing facemasks, which suggests to this writer that they may be more gullible than they claim.

  • Hundreds of Satanists have descended on Boston for ‘the largest Satanic gathering in history’

Furious Christian groups are attempting to shut down the ‘largest Satanic gathering in history’ after hundreds of The Satanic Temple’s members descended on Boston.

The annual SatanCon festival arrived in town on Friday to celebrate the organization’s 10-year anniversary, kicking off with a bizarre opening ceremony that saw speakers tear up the bible and perform ‘un-baptisms’.

But the arrival of the Devil worshippers on the East Coast has sparked backlash from religious groups, with crowds gathering Saturday to stage a series of demonstrations across the city and combat the hellish three-day event with ‘intense prayer’.

It comes after Dr Jaymz Sideras, the leader of religious group Revive Boston, warned: ‘While they think they are coming to ambush Boston, little do they know that God has planned to ambush them.’

His organization is hosting a counter-event at the Revere Hotel Boston Common, less than a mile from the Satanist convention at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

Tempers flared as the conference headed into its second day, with white nationalist group Patriot Front seen brandishing crucifixes.

Unlike similar groups, The Satanic Temple does not necessarily worship the Devil, but instead views the character as a symbol to ‘reject tyrannical authority’, according to its website.

But its activism, which also centers around the separation of church and state, has caught the ire of several religious groups.

Revive Boston’s website is hosting a weekend of ‘revival’ that will include prayer lessons before groups are sent across ‘key locations’ in Boston to ‘flood the streets with worship and God’s word’.

Another group opposing SatanCon is the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, who told the Catholic News Agency they plan to use ‘intense prayer’ to combat the event.

‘At the direction of the cardinal [Sean O’Malley], we are approaching it through a response balanced and focused on prayer,’ a spokesman added.

A troubling appearance from white nationalist group The Patriot Front also joined the protestors outside the conference.

‘We’ve had threats’, one Satanist attendee told Freedom News. ‘There are protestors, quite a few of them are outside. We have no problem with them protesting, that’s their right to do.’
