The Last Supper was where Jesus symbolically showed the disciples what He was about to do for mankind. He broke the bread, because His body suffered for us. He passed the wine, because it symbolizes His shed blood for our sin.

Most meanings are in the eye of the beholder.

The painting is supposed to reflect the different reactions to Jesus' pronouncement that he would be betrayed by someone at the table.

There are reasons put forth for WHY the painting was done. Leonardo da vinci at the time was trying out a new painting medium (Tempura) - which is why the painting is in such bad shape. Many conspiracy theories are around. But here is something to consider.

The painting contains several references to the number 3, which represents the Christian belief in the Holy Trinity. The Apostles are seated in groupings of three; there are three windows behind Jesus; and the shape of Jesus' figure resembles a triangle.

There may have been other references that have since been lost as the painting deteriorated.

It is Leonardo Da Vinci's interpretation of each of the Apostles to the news that Jesus would be betrayed that evening and would be crucified to death. The Lord's Supper is the Passover meal - the 4th Passover Jesus celebrated with His disciples and last meal on earth.

This was categorized under 'The Last Supper', so I'm going to conclude that you were referring to that. The Last Supper was not bad, however what proceeded the day after and what the Last Supper stood for is rather grotesque.The Last Supper was, in the New Testament, the Last Supper that Jesus ate with his disciples, and the one in which he gave his last words of wisdom. The proceeding day, Jesus was set to be crucified, and hence the celebration of Easter.

Why is the Last Supper called the Last Supper and not the last dinner?

For purely cultural reasons. Some call it the last meal, for instance. To some, "dinner" and "supper" mean the same meal, for others they have both a dinner and a supper everyday, for instance on a farm: breakfast in the morning, then lunch, then dinner, then after the last work of the day, supper.
