Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper," has faced numerous dangers over its lifetime. The painting suffered damage during World War II when the refectory where it is housed was bombed, although the painting itself miraculously survived. Additionally, environmental factors such as humidity and temperature fluctuations have posed ongoing threats to the artwork's preservation. The painting has also been subjected to restoration attempts, some of which have caused controversy due to the use of harsh cleaning methods that damaged the original paint layers.

You'll want to take it to a verified and trusted art appraiser to get it certified and then have a value placed on it.

Good luck!

The bowl used at the Last Supper is traditionally believed to be the Holy Grail, the cup from which Jesus and his disciples drank during the Passover meal. The actual whereabouts of the Holy Grail are unknown and many consider it a symbol of divine grace and immortality.

It can been seen in the proportions and balance in the dimensions of the table which they all sat to the proportions of the walls and windows in the background. The golden ratio (1.61803) was all about proportion, balance, and beauty.

The Bible doesn't give his name (though some speculate it was Nicodemus):

Matthew 26:18-19New King James Version (NKJV)

18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

Leonardo Da Vinci was the original painter of the last supper which is famous around the world. Leonardo is also responsible for many other notable paintings including Mona Lisa.

The theme is the last meal, the Passover meal, that Jesus shared with his disciples before being arrested.

If you view the New Covenant as a legal document proposing a law then that law has to take effect from a certain date. Jesus did this when He said at the Last Supper "this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.22) So the New Covenant came into effect when the cup was poured out at the Last Supper. The new covenant is not a mere renewal of the earlier covenant that the Israelites broke. No, indeed! For the apostle Paul writes to the Christians at Rome, saying: "You are not under law but under undeserved kindness." (Romans 6:14) It is really a new covenant, and it was to be expected that it would be a better one, for the Almighty God Jehovah is able to improve matters with regard to those whom he admits into the new covenant. For one thing, he raised up a better mediator, or go-between, in establishing the new covenant. This Mediator was no imperfect, sin-infected man like the prophet Moses. 8 The Law covenant mediated by means of the prophet Moses was good in itself. However, that covenant provided for the sacrifice of animals whose blood could never wash away human sins. So for Jehovah God to set up a better covenant, there would have to be a better mediator with a better sacrifice. This all-necessary Mediator proved to be Jesus Christ. Pointing out the superiority of this Mediator as compared to the prophet Moses, the Bible gives us the following explanation: "But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises. . . . In his saying 'a new covenant' he has made the former one obsolete."-Hebrews 8:6, 13. --Excerpt from "Insight on the Scriptures"

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.

There were 13 people at the last supper. 12 apostles and Jesus Christ.

In luke the only chapter is chapter 22. it has a lot of verses in it though

In the Last Supper, the disciples are depicted seated around a long table with Jesus at the center. Traditionally, the arrangement shows them in varying poses of conversation and contemplation, with Judas Iscariot often placed at the opposite side of Jesus. This setup symbolizes their close relationship with Jesus and the impending betrayal. The positioning also highlights themes of fellowship, loyalty, and the significance of the moment in Christian theology.

The original menorah was of gold and stood in the Jewish Temple, as commanded in Exodus ch.25. It burned olive oil.

For the last 2200 years, another type of menorah is the ones that are lit during Hanukkah.

For most Jews, the centerpiece of Hanukkah is the Hanukkah-menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum, also sometimes called a Hanukkiah. As you look at a menorah, you will notice that one candle is set at a different level from the other eight. That one is called the Shammash, or helper candle. Jewish law states that the regular candles are for viewing and spreading the word of the miracle only, so the Shammash is used to light the others, and for any other purpose, such as for light to read by.

The menorah itself may be made in almost any manner - glass, aluminum or other metals. Menorahs may be sleek and contemporary, or flowery and ornate, and may incorporate decorations such as the Tree of Life.

The menorah should be placed in a manner that is as visible as possible to the public, to publicize the miracle of Hanukkah. Depending on custom, some families light the menorah in a doorway, or a window, or some other place that is highly visible.

"The Last Supper" is a proper title in English for the event where Jesus celebrated the Pasch and inaugurated the New Law in the presence of his disciples on the eve of His death.

Other Catholic titles for this event include "The Lord's Supper" "Cena Domini" "The First Mass" "Holy Thursday"

Last Supper is a passage in the Bible that describes the last meal Jesus had with his disciples before he was captured, tortured and killed. It is part of the New Testament, not the Old.

Anything that happened before Christ, is part of the Old Testament.

Anything that happened during Christ's life and beyond, is part of the New Testament.

Yes, it was the first mass and Jesus conducted it with his apostles.

He was paid to paint the painting by the Duke of Milan and the Duke chose the theme of the painting. It took him 4 years to paint and the Duke was very lucky it was finished. Da Vinci was known for not finishing projects.

Wine (Jesus' Blood)



It's disputed. Catholics and most orthodox churches believe that it was wine transformed into blood, whereas other Christians insist it is only symbolic of Jesus' blood.

No, only Jesus and his Apostles were at the Last Supper. If by 'Last Supper' you mean the famous fresco by da Vinci, there is not a girl or woman in that painting either. This seems to be a common misconception since the work of fiction by Dan Brown, and movie 'The da Vinci Code'.
