Armenia: The Last Supper. Armenian illuminated Gospel, 16th century

The Last Supper is the final meal that, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus shared with his Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.

The Last Supper is commemorated by Christians especially on Maundy Thursday. Moreover, the Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for the Eucharist, also known as 'Holy Communion' or 'The Lord's Supper'.
