What is the relationship of the Last Supper to the Divine Liturgy?
The Last Supper was the ancient Passover Meal, whereby God¹s people re-presented the wonders of his saving acts. This meal was the venue chosen by Christ to give us His flesh to eat and His blood to drink, except he performed this act on the day before His death. The Divine Liturgy follows the form of Last Supper (sacrificial banquet), and makes present the Sacrifice of the Cross. By Christ’s passion and death, we pass-over from death to life.
