Last Supper

The story of the Passion is a major event in the Bible, and a dramatic end to the life of Jesus. On Maundy Thursday he bid farewell to his disciples, and the last supper provided the context for a serious, but at the same time emotional gathering of close friends. Gravity, the relationship between the guests (love, community, fellowship, uncertainty, fear, sorrow, division and fraud) and the sensitive nature of the "Last Supper scenario" has inspired countless artists through the ages, and the theme has been interpreted in many different ways.
