LAST SUPPER TATTOOS

The Last Supper - Dining With Christ

The Last Supper is the final meal that, according to Christian belief, Jesus Christ shared with his Twelve Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.

The Last Supper provides the scriptural basis on which almost all Christians base a central practice of their faith, known as "the Eucharist", "communion" or "the Lord's Supper." In the Eucharist.

Christians share the bread and wine, which Jesus referred to as his "body and blood," following his instruction to "Do this in memory of me.

At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted a new covenant between God and the faithful, one different from the covenant made between

God and the Hebrews in the Old Testament

Early Christians understood Jesus' instructions to "Do this in memory of me" as a commandment to memorialize the institution of this new covenant and to affirm their participation in covenantal relationship him and with each other.

The details of how this instruction is carried out and the theology associated with the practice vary in different branches and denominations of Christianity.

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him:
- Lord, is it I?
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

-- Matthew 26 --

The disciples are all reacting in horror to the thought that someone at that table would betray their master.
