Last Supper - Before his death Jesus gathered his
disciples together to celebrate one final Jewish Passover
meal. At this meal He instituted a sacrificial meal which
would commemorate his death and the accomplishment of our
forgiveness and salvation through that death. This meal became
known as Holy Communion, Holy Eucharist, the Pascal Feast,
as well as the Last Supper. (St
Michaels)
The Last Supper is the special meal that Jesus shared with
his friends. Jesus changed bread and wine into his Body and
Blood.
In the Christian faith, the Last Supper was the last meal
between Jesus and his apostles before his death. The Last
Supper has been the subject of many paintings, perhaps most
famously by Leonardo da Vinci.
