The Satanic Temple event was held in Boston around the same time a Christian event called "Revive Boston!" was hosted in the city.
Dozens of members and supporters of the non-theistic organization known as The Satanic Temple flocked to Boston, Massachusetts, last weekend to attend the event touted as the “largest Satanic gathering in history.”
SatanCon 2023 was held from April 28 to 30 at the Mariott Copley Place hotel in Boston.
"The significance of this is that this is 10 years of the existence of the satanic temple, we are bringing in a new age of Satanic era and we want to celebrate this monumental moment together," one of the event’s attendees told media.
Another attendee reportedly insisted that the majority of those who gathered at the event do not believe in “literal Satan,” and that it was all about “freedom of religion” and “freedom from religion.”
A statement posted on the Satanic Temple’s website also stated that the event was “dedicated to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for her unconstitutional efforts to keep TST out of Boston's public spaces.”

SatanCon was held on the same weekend that a Christian event called “Revive Boston!”, and the Satanic Temple gathering had also attracted the attention of Christian protesters who decried the event.
"They say they are introducing Satan issues to people, but whatever they do for Satan is wrong, and we are praying to God for reparations on what they are doing," one Christian protester reportedly said.
