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.

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.
