The paintings give the impression that it was daylight outside, when it was
night. The chalice is missing in Leonardo’s painting, but there are glasses of
wine. The bread is in the shape of buns. The Church agrees that the communion
bread can be unleavened or leavened, the Orthodox goes for leavened only. What
was the shape of the unleavened bread at the Last Supper? I see photos of
matzah in the shape of squares.

Interesting topic - particularly interesting since Dan Brown (author of the
De Vinci Code) was my classmate in college and friend back in that day.
Makes for great theatre and a great story line - but the painting was done
more than 1400 years after the Last Supper by someone clearly not an eye
witness and really has no bearing on what actually transpired at the last
supper. For that we can and should rely only on the scriptural accounts.

Joel,
I don’t believe either is correct. Some thoughts, they reclined rather than
sat as was required. Judas left after they dipped so likely matzoth in the
horosheth so before the meal and well before the third cup. In Leonardo’s
painting it is John not a woman to Jesus’ right which is correct. Judas was
to Jesus’ left also correct, which was the position of honor. I believe there
was about 30 at the last supper and at several tables. The apostles were at
the table with Jesus. The disciples on the road to Emmaus recognized Him in
the breaking of the bread something they could only do if they were there.
Peter was some distance from Jesus because he signaled to John to ask who
would betray and John could whisper from Jesus’ breast without anyone else
hearing. There was a typical dining setup where they were served from one
side of the table. All their feet would extend out from the table making
washing the feet easier. I think the disciples were typically about age 20
otherwise if they were older they would have to pay the temple tax like Jesus
and Peter. I believe Jesus was the oldest. The room was large. I have never
seen the last supper properly presented.
Grace and peace,
Bruce

Subject: [ahc] The Last Supper paintings?
Shalom,
Happy New Year to everyone... I have attached 2 pictures regarding Jesus
Last Supper Paintings, one is very familiar. Jesus sits at the table but
there is no bread or the chalice with wine. Also if you look closely looking
at the picture on the left a woman sits at the table... is it Mary Magdalene?
Now take a look at my second image of Jesus's last supper painting... you see
bread and the Chalice which is filled with wine. If you look towards the
right on the back you can see Judas Escariott giving Jesus his back. Which
of the paintings is more believable? Just because Leonardo DaVinci claims he
painted Jesus with the Apostles including a female figure in the painting,
does not tell me this is the correct painting of the Last Supper with the
Messiah. I looked and researched many paintings and I really like the second
painting, with all 12 Apostles. This is just my opinion. I would like to hear
some feedback from AHC. Lent is about to start for the Roman Catholic Order
in just a month an half. The Last Supper symbolizes part of the Holy Lent and
it's meaning.
Love in the Messiah.
Joel
P.S. I dedicate my life studying and researching Jesus Christ entire 33 years
he walked on the same planet we live in. 2000 years later we have more to
learn. Not making this a joke, but Jesus as a baby also was wearing diapers,
as we all did when we were babies as some point.
