Best Answer

The Holy-day of Passover originated in Egypt. The Israelites were commanded by God to keep this feast day every year (which many did not do). Most of the people had homes they lived in and this is where they celebrated the Passover feast. Person's who had no homes, like Jesus had to find a place to hold the Passover feast. Some people were invited into other people's homes to celebrate the feast. Jesus sent some of His disciples to find a suitable place for their Passover meal. The upper room is the place they found. This Passover feast turned out differently for Jesus and His 12 disciples and has came to be know as the "Last Supper". See Matthew 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16; Luke 22:1-38; John, chapters 13 & 14.

Where was the Last Supper celebrated in the upper?

Jesus celebrated the last supper in the upper room. The Bible says so:Mark 14:12-1612On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' 15 He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there." 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
