Jesus did many things at the Last Supper. The main one, though, was the first communion. Communion is a ritual done by the Christian church and it is modeled after what Christ did during the Last Supper. Matthew 26:26-29 says,

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying,"Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

This was during the Passover meal. This meal was tradition and followed a certain schedule. What Jesus did had never been done before. Christians take it to 1. follow what Christ says and 2. to symbolize the acceptance of Christ's sacrifice for us.

How many suppers did Jesus attend in the last week?

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.


Why is the last supper important to modern day Christians?

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.

Why is the last supper is important?

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.
