What are the other names for the lords supper?

  1. Lord's Supper

Biblically the Last Supper was just that - the last supper that Jesus had with his disciples before the crucifixion the next day.

However the sacrament that Jesus instituted at this Last Supper has several names.

It is called the 'Lord's Supper', 'the Eucharist',or 'Holy Communion' by mostly Protestant Churches, and the 'Mass' by Roman Catholic churches. Although Roman Catholics differ from other denominations in how they interpret what happens at the Mass, the procedure is the same; the Last Supper, when Jesus instituted the new covenant between God and humanity in the bread and wine, is re-enacted with the priest or minister in the role of Jesus, breaking the bread and saying his words.

What did bread represent at Jesus's last supper?

What date was Jesus at the last supper?

I do not know. The question is asked because the Last Supper depicts John as looking feminine rather than masculine. Also, he has no facial hair and his body image looks more feminine. I understand young men during this period were often depicted this way in art. So, how old was he at the time? Do biblical scholars know. Thanks.

Why is Passover celebrated for 8 days?

The dates and length of Jewish festivals are decided according to the complex Hebrew calendar, which involves both lunar and solar measurements taken in Israel. As in the past getting the relevant information from Israel to the farthest reaches of the world would take far longer than today, Jews in other nations added an extra day to the festivals and holidays to ensure they were celebrating the event on the correct day and, over time, this became a tradition.

Today, even though we have very fast worldwide communication networks which would be more than capable of allowing Jews in any country to get the information, festivals are often celebrated for one day more in the Diaspora (Jewish communities outside Israel) than they are in Israel - Passover is one example of this.

In which day do you remember jesus last meal with his diciples?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Last Supper was held the Thursday before Easter, also known as Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday.

Another Answer:

It was on a Wednesday in the year 31 AD. Taking all the 'clues' into account that the Gospels offer, and understanding how Jews then and now count days and their Festivals and High Holy Days, we can plot out a timeline that fits with the only sign Jesus gave men of His Messiahship - 3 full days like Jonah.

First, days were/are counted from one sunset to another, just like the account in Genesis 1. Next, this was the Passover season - Nisan 14 - which was a Feast Day commemorating the 'passing over' of the angel of death in Egyptian captivity with Moses. The very next day - Nisan 15 - begins the High (Annual) Holy Days of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' which begins with a Sabbath and has the 1st Sunday after the 1st Sabbath as a 'Wave Sheath' offering (small representative bunch of early Spring Barley offered to God for His acceptance).

Now the Gospels tell us that Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal (night portion of the Passover) beginning at sunset. The meal typically takes 3 hours and ends in a hymn. Jesus then goes to pray anticipating His cruel death shortly coming. He is taken captive after Judas betrays Him and goes back and forth between the Jewish and Roman authorities. At noon during the Passover day - a Wednesday in 31 AD, He is crucified. He dies at 3:00 PM and His followers seek and are given permission to remove the body and quickly prepare it for burial before the upcoming Sabbath - 1st day of Unleavened Bread to begin at sunset. He is buried just before the sunset of Wednesday.

Recapping: Passover meal aka 'The Last Supper' began at Wednesday evening, 25 April 31 AD at the start of the Passover. He is tried and crucified on Wednesday, Passover day, 25 April 31 AD and is buried shortly before the next day began at sunset - a High Sabbath.

Who is eating with Jesus in the Last Supper?

12 men

These were the 12 disciples who were his closest followers.

They were:

Simon (whom Jesus nicknamed 'Peter' the 'Rock')

Andrew, brother of Simon/Peter

Both of these were fishermen.

James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee

These were teenage boys and Zebedee their father was also a fisherman, so it is assumed that they would have followed on in his profession.

Matthew, (also called 'Levi') was a tax collector

The rest of the disciples were:

James, the son of Alpheus

Philip,

Bartholomew (also called 'Nathaniel')

Thomas (also called 'didymus' - 'the twin')

Thaddeus, also called 'Judas' or 'Jude'

Simon the Zealot, and

Judas Iscariot. (who betrayed Jesus). After his suicide, Matthias took his place, but Matthias wasn't at the Last Supper as he did not become a disciple until after Jesus' death and resurrection.

We are not told the professions/occupations of these disciples.

Do baptists celebrate the Lord's Supper?

No. The 'Lord's Supper' or Commnion is purely a Christian phenomenon.

Answer:

Some do... There are Christian Buddhists. I know, seems like an oxymoron!! However, if you ask a Buddhist that practices only Buddhism what religion they are they will not say Buddhism. Buddhism, to the Buddhist is not a religion, but a way of life. Buddhists do not worship deities. They accept all religions as well. Therefore one can be a Buddhist and a Christian. So when you as "Do Buddhists incorporate the lords supper into their ceremonies" you can have several answers by several Buddhists who practice different religions as well as the way of Buddhism.

Further information which may be useful

Many Tantric Buddhists have a practice known as the ganacakra (in Sanskrit) or tsog (in Tibetan) feast ceremony, in which eating and drinking are practised as part of a sacred ceremony of drawing closer to their Guru. These ceremonies have a similarity to the Christian Eucharist (Holy Communion), and are most heartfelt practices.

Further information about Buddhists and religion: Some Buddhists, even monks or nuns, may say they are religious as Buddhists, and that Buddhism is their religion. However, it still stands that a Buddhist can adopt any religion he or she wishes, in addition to being a Buddhist, whether you consider it a philosophy or religion. Any religion a Buddhist adopts must be considered a peaceful one.

Can you see a picture of the Last Supper?

It isquite misunderstanding when we look at Deviance picture,

1. It is just an imagination.

2. It is not true because Jesus is not a hypocrite, while the bible teaches long hair for man is a shame for man, Jesus and his disciples should have short hair or bold head.

3. The famous picture could be the evil plan of devil to make Mary Magdalena issue later.

4.Encient Jews used to eat from same plate and drink from same vessel. It is is clear from the scripture that he took bread (NOT BREADS) and vessel (NOT VESSELS). It is believed to be a big bread good enough for the whole family at that time (BIG FAMILY).

5. If they want to eat from same plate, a rectangular table is totally inconvenient it should be a round table.

6. When it is a round table ,there is no question of who was in centre bible doesn't say anything about centre. but it says the disciple whom Jesus loved the most was leaning on his shoulder.

On what day is the Last Supper celebrated?

It was the last time that Jesus spoke with his disciples before the Crucifixion, and he showed them how to consecrate the Eucarist (sic). (by Lordcatz8)

Actually, all he did was ask his disciples to remember what he was about to do. He took the bread and said, "Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me." The Catholics take that literally and say "hoc est enim corpus meum," (Latin for, "for this is my body.") which they believe turns the bread into the actual body of Christ.

The rest of us see the broken bread as a representation of his broken body and remember what he did for us when we have communion.

Church of God in Christ Lord's supper who are the participants to give the supper?

Christ told his disciples to eat his symbolic body in the form of bread and to drink his symbolic blood in the form of wine as a remembrance. Paul told the disciples to examine themselves so that they do not eat and drink of the bread and wine unworthily; they will bring damnation to themselves if they do.
