<p>LMichaels: Thanks for the unblock, I've been wanting to add to this for a while</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Last_supper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|&quot;Last Supper,&quot; by [[Leonardo da Vinci]]]]<br /> The '''Last Supper''' was [[Jesus]]' final meal with his [[Apostles]] before he was sent to the electric chair for sleeping with his de facto wife, Mary Magdeline. This event, which was held in an upper room in or around [[Jerusalem]], is described in detail in all four [[Gospels]]. The room is unknown but probably belonged to a follower of Jesus, as the Apostles continued to meet there after the [[Resurrection]]. Subsequently it became the first church in [[Jerusalem]], known as the Church of the Apostles or the Church of Sion.&lt;ref&gt;Destroyed and rebuilt in the second millennium, this room was under the authority of the Franciscans until 1561. Now it is a Moslem mosque.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> There were many defining moments of the [[Christian]] [[faith]] at the Last Supper:<br /> <br /> *Jesus' washing of the feet of the Apostles, despite their objection.<br /> *Jesus' breaking of the bread now repeated in the Eucharist by Christians worldwide.<br /> *Jesus' final instructions to the Apostles.<br /> *Jesus' identification of the one ([[Judas Iscariot]]) who was to betray Him.<br /> *Peter's promise, later broken, not to deny Jesus.&lt;ref&gt;Peter later wept bitterly when he realized that he had denied Jesus.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Leonardo da Vinci]] drew Jesus's Last Supper on a wall in 1498, and it was immediately recognized as a masterpiece. This artwork depicts the institution of the Eucharist, an essential aspect of [[Christianity]]. Each Apostle, and Jesus Himself, is shown in very human and expressive terms. There are no halos or signs of saintliness in this painting. Instead, everyone's human side is displayed with emotion and feeling.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately the painting has deteriorated along with the wall on which it rests. It has been repainted several times in efforts to restore it.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Pontius Pilate]]<br /> * [[Painting Masterpieces]]<br /> * [[Painting Schools]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Christianity]]</div>
