What is the Last Supper?
The Last Supper refers to the gathering of Jesus and his disciples just before he was arrested and taken to Pontius Pilot for sentencing. There are many paintings of the event with Jesus seated at a long table with the disciples seated on either side. This was the dinner where he told them to drink the wine that it was his blood; and to eat the bread that it was his flesh. This is the basis for communion in many Christian ceremonies.
