The Last Supper is the final meal that, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus shared with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. [2] The Last Supper is commemorated by Christians especially on Holy Thursday. [3] The Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for the Eucharist, also known as "Holy Communion" or "The Lord's Supper". [4]
The painting was also exposed to the steam and smoke from the convent's kitchen and from candles used in the refectory itself. [12] By 1582, it was recorded that The Last Supper was "in a state of total ruin." [12] Around 1652, a door was cut into the refectory wall, destroying the area in which Jesus's feet were depicted.
