The Last Supper or Communion is supposed to be observed as a Memorial to our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself instructed his disciples to do this "in remembrance of Me". You can find this quote in the book of Luke , Chapter 22, verse 19. I must note that observing the Lords Supper is serious business and should be done in a totally respectful manner only to honor Christ Jesus. The Last Supper is important to Christians for what it commemorates - the suffering and death of their Lord and Saviour. Jesus began this practice 'on the night when He was betrayed,' in the shadow of the cross. In the same way Christians are to live in the shadow of their own personal cross and death to self just like their Master and Lord.
Christians don't celebrate the Last Supper. Jesus had the Last Supper with his disciples before He went to the cross. What we celebrate is known as the Lord's Supper.
The reason the celebration of the Lord's Supper is significant to Christians is that Jesus told us to celebrate it to remember his sacrifice for us. The bread represents his body being broken for us, on the cross, and the wine or Grape Juice represents his blood being shed for us on the cross. This is talked about in Luke 22:14-20 and 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 in The Bible.
We celebrate the Last Supper in recognition and thanks for what Jesus knew He would do for us on the cross...forgive our sins by sacrificing his blood and fleshly body. The wine represents his blood and the bread his body. He commanded that those who were true believers should continue this recognition on a regular basis in remembrance of Him. Only those who are true believers in Christ and have accepted him as their Savior should participate in the Last Supper.
Roman Catholics think:
It is the day when Jesus established the sacrament called Eucharist and Mass
It was so important because it was the last supper that Jesus and the diciples had together before Jesus died.
Because it was when Jesus was preparing to die for Christians and people.
Christ wants to give his body and flesh as communion to his disciples as well as to the believers to edify him after his death.
It is a way to remember that Jesus died as a sacrifice for sin.
Some religions say communion is more than this but their veiws are not supported by scripture.
Jesus attended only one supper, hence the name "last supper." At the last supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist and laid the foundation for the Catholic Mass. Many other Christians today celebrate this "last supper" on Sunday mornings at church as a means of symbolic reunion with God.
In many ways, the artists that attempted to paint the Last Supper pretty much had to guess what the Apostles looked like; not like there were pictures anywhere. If you had meant "The" Last Supper, try comparing the details of the figures with others in other Last Suppers.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Last Supper is important to Catholics and to the whole world, in that, it was at the Last Supper that Our Blessed Lord redeemed the world. The Last Supper was the "making present" of Our Blessed Lord's Passion, Death, and Resurrection to his apostles, and through the continuation of it in the Eucharist, to everyone of us throughout history. In the most sacred Eucharist, which was established with the Last Supper, Our Blessed Lord becomes physically present and remains, it is the greatest miracle that God has bestowed upon us, for which we should be grateful every moment of our lives.
Passover existed before the Last Supper, so Jesus did not institute it at the Last Supper. He was celebrating the Passover and instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
