The Last Supper is a significant event in Christian theology, commemorated as the final meal that Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion. Here are key details about the Last Supper:

Biblical Accounts:
The Last Supper is described in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

Here are the main points:

- Institution of the Eucharist:
During the meal, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." He then took a cup of wine, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."

- Betrayal Announcement:
Jesus revealed that one of his disciples would betray him, which led to distress among them and a discussion about who it could be. Judas Iscariot is identified as the betrayer.

- New Commandment: According to the Gospel of John, Jesus gave a new commandment to his disciples to "love one another as I have loved you."

- Washing of the Disciples' Feet: In the Gospel of John, Jesus performs the act of washing his disciples' feet, symbolizing humility and service.

Theological Significance

- Eucharist/Communion:
The Last Supper is foundational for the Christian practice of the Eucharist or Holy Communion, where believers partake in bread and wine (or substitutes) in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice.

- Covenant:
Jesus' reference to the cup as the "new covenant in my blood" signifies the establishment of a new covenant between God and humanity, fulfilled through Jesus' death and resurrection.

- Betrayal and Sacrifice:
The announcement of the betrayal and Jesus' subsequent crucifixion highlight themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the fulfillment of prophetic scriptures.

The Last Supper has been a popular subject in Christian art.
The most famous depiction is Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper," a mural painting in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
This artwork captures the moment Jesus announces his betrayal, with detailed expressions and reactions of the disciples.

Liturgical Observance
- Maundy Thursday: The Last Supper is commemorated on Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter, in Christian liturgical traditions.
This day often includes special services, Eucharist celebrations, and foot-washing ceremonies.

The Last Supper has had a profound influence on Christian thought, worship practices, and art. It encapsulates key elements of Jesus' teachings, the establishment of Christian rituals, and the preparation for his impending passion and resurrection.
