How long did the last supper take?
The last supper held with Jesus must have taken a while. If you read the Bible they talked and ate and Jesus was trying to prepare the disciples for his death and how their lives would change after he was crucified. During the evening he also told them about remembering him by eating bread and wine and also washed their feet.
When they went to pray in the garden afterwards it was very late and the disciples were so tired they kept falling asleep even though Jesus asked them to stay awake.
I think they did a lot on the day Jesus was arrested.

Why do people eat ham on Easter?
Because ham is really tasty! Plus, ham is closely related to bacon, and we know how good bacon is.
Ham is one meat that would make it through the winter. Animals are typically killed in the fall, when they are fat after eating all spring and summer. And they don't have to be fed over the winter with stored grain and hay. The animals also lose a great deal of weight and it doesn't make sense to kill them when they are skinny. Pigs
Originally pigs were killed in the Fall. The curing process was time consuming, and the hams were usually ready at Easter time. It is really about convenience more than anything. would be killed in the fall and the hams preserved with salt and smoke.
How many criminals were crucified with Jesus in Easter story?
Only two are mentioned in scripture, perhaps this is because they we nearest to Christ. One also spoke to Him and received an answer. There were possibly others but as they play no part in the events taking place they are not mentioned.
This is the traditional answer, but not necessarily the complete answer. The Bible tells us that two (2) κακοῦργος (malefactors) were crucified as well as two (2) λῃστής (thieves) crucified. This is a total of four (4) criminals. This may mess with tradition, however accuracy is more important.
Do Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate Jewish holidays since they do not have pagan roots?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not observe the ancient Jewish holidays because these are associated with the Mosiac Law which was done away with by Christ Jesus' sacrifice. Jehovah's Witnesses excercise faith in Jesus and observe the Law of the Christ rather than holding to those pre-Christian observances.-(Galatians 6:2)
The ancient Jewish holidays were required by the Mosiac Law covenant. The most well-known part of that law was the Ten Commandments, but there were some 300 other laws and requirements that included festivals, holidays, and various sabbaths.
Whe referring to that law, Paul stated at Romans 7:6,7, that Christians have been "discharged from theLaw.", that is, that old Mosiac Law.
At Romans 10:4, we are told that, " Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness."
Colossians 10:6, says that God "kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . .Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking" or "in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath."
So the festivals and holidays required by the Law would not be required on those excercising faith in Jesus.
Christians are not under that Law covenant. The Mosiac Law was to be a "tutor leading to Christ."-(Galatians 3:24) Therefore, when Christ came and proved faithful, he could say that he fullfilled the Law. -(Matthew 5:17) That is why Paul could write years later that the Law was "nailed to the stake" along with Christ.-(Colossians 3:13,14)
