I suppose you mean the one painted by Leonardo. It is important to be specific, since this is a favorite subject painted by hundreds of artist throuh the centuries. Before Leonardo, Christ and the disciples were depicted sitting straight and motionless along the table. Leonardo realized that the natural thing was for them to be upset and agitated by the words Christ had just uttered.

The Last Supper year?

The Last Supper = the last meal Jesus ate with his disciples was when Jesus was 33. The chronology is disputed, it might have been somewhere between 7 BC and 7 AD. So much for your question. But maybe you do not mean what you write. Maybe you want to know when the painting representing that Last Supper was painted. This is also difficult to answer, because this subject has been painted by hundreds of artists from the 3rd to the 20th centuries. So, maybe you believe that Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper' is the only one. That is a mistake. Anyway it was painted 1495-1497.


What was the date of when 'The Last Supper' was invented?

The last supper is the meal Christ had with his disciples. Is not that what you mean? That was about 33 AD.Perhaps you mean one of the hundreds of paintings made of that subject through the centuries.Perhaps you mean the painting by Leonardo da Vinci? If you do, why did you not say so????It was completed in 1497.When you ask about a painting ALWAYS name the artist!!!


Is supper bad?

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.


What is the conspiracy behind Leonardo's Last Supper Painting?

In the last super painting by Leonardo Vinci, the person sitting nest to Jesus looks like a lady. So it started the talk that it was a lady. and it could very well be Mary Magdalene. But it was not a lady, it was actually the disciple John, the youngest of the 12.


Was Palm Sunday before the last supper?

Yes it was. It is the Sunday before Easter Sunday, so it is the Sunday before Holy Thursday, which is when the last supper was.

Is it true that at the last supper Jesus instituted the passover?

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.

Possibly one of the many which belong to a museum, or a mural as e.g. Leonardo's famous one in Milan. But there is no way of assessing the value of a work of art until it is up for sale. So you will never know.

Is bread and wine a symbol?

In Christianity, bread and wine are used in the sacrament of Holy Communion to symbolize the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This ritual is known as the Eucharist, where believers partake in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Through the transubstantiation doctrine, some Christian denominations believe that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ.
