- Lord's Supper
Biblically the Last Supper was just that - the last supper that Jesus had with his disciples before the crucifixion the next day.
However the sacrament that Jesus instituted at this Last Supper has several names.
It is called the 'Lord's Supper', 'the Eucharist',or 'Holy Communion' by mostly Protestant Churches, and the 'Mass' by Roman Catholic churches. Although Roman Catholics differ from other denominations in how they interpret what happens at the Mass, the procedure is the same; the Last Supper, when Jesus instituted the new covenant between God and humanity in the bread and wine, is re-enacted with the priest or minister in the role of Jesus, breaking the bread and saying his words.

∙ 10y agoThe term "Last Supper" does not appear in the New Testament,[12][13] but traditionally many Christians refer to the New Testament accounts of the last meal Jesus shared with his Apostles as the "Last Supper".[13]
Most Protestants use the term "Lord's Supper", stating that the term "last" suggests this was one of several meals and not the meal.[14][15] The term "Lord's Supper" refers both to the biblical event and the act of "Holy Communion" and Eucharistic ("Thanksgiving") celebration within their liturgy. Evangelical Protestants also use the term "Lord's Supper", but most do not use the terms "Eucharist" or the word "Holy" with the name "Communion".[16][17]
The Eastern Orthodox use the term "Mystical Supper" which refers both to the biblical event and the act of Eucharistic celebration within liturgy.[18]

∙ 9y agoThough the phrase 'Last Supper' is not mentioned in The Bible, many believe Jesus and His Apostles shared this final meal together before the Friday execution. It is thought to be on a Thursday and is also called the 'Lord's Supper' by Protestants.
But for many, and not all, Good Friday also known as Holy Friday, is celebrated two days before Easter as the commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with His dying at 3:00 PM and buried before sunset that same day. Two days after is Easter Sunday which is revered as the day of Jesus' resurrection, sometimes by sunrise services. This became official in the Roman Church in 325 AD by the Emperor Constantine.
But there are biblical proofs that this is not the day which Christ died. Additionally, no matter how you count from 3:00 PM to the dark hours of Sunday morning, can you arrive at 3 days and nights or 72 hours (only sign Christ gave of His Messiahship - see Matthew 12:39 and 16:4).
Some biblical scholars have put this event at the Wednesday, daylight portion of the Passover (Jewish days start and end at sunset) of 'Nisan 14' in 31 AD. He was in the tomb then Wednesday evening, Thursday and Friday evenings. Also during Thursday daylight, Friday and Saturday - rising just before sunset which began Sunday in the Jewish calendar. 72 hours fully.
