[edit] Explanation
Explanation of change, where I wrote "bread and wine; see talk":
This page lacked any mention of bread and wine. Although the remembrance took place in the context of a full meal, the 1 Cor 11 passage shows that early Christian understanding was that the thing which constituted the actual act of remembrance (proclamation) of Jesus' death was specifically eating the bread and drinking the wine, rather than recreation of the entire meal per se.
Of course the point here is that there are different contexts in Christians nowadays consume the bread and wine as the "Lord's Supper" -- most frequently a church service -- and traditions which differ from those of the early Christians can still nonetheless be consistent with their fundamental understanding of Jesus' command.Trainspotter 15:15, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Feasts
The practice of this remembrance service took place in the context of meals known as agape feasts. Agape is one of the Greek words for love. This form of the service apparently was a full meal, with each participant bringing their own food, with the meal eaten in a common room. See also Didache.. This is going on to talk about early church practice. Not that I think this is a bad thing, but we have far from finished discussing the Last Supper itself. We should mention exactly how it tied in with Passover meals. Also need to talk about other events at the supper, such as washing feet, Judas, 'upper room' etc. DJ Clayworth 15:41, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Yes, much more can be said about the Last Supper. This is really just a stub entry. Trc | [msg] 15:46, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article title
Given the WP policy on article naming conventions, this probably should be located at Last Supper. Any objections? Alai 18:07, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, and since you wrote this over a year ago and there have been no objections,
I'll move it.It can't be moved for now because of the problem regarding the history of Last Supper.S Sepp 22:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)- This may be difficult as Last Supper was cut-and-paste moved to The Last Supper in 2001. It looks as if it in turn came from another cut-and-paste from somewhere else. Talk:Last Supper has some of the history. --Henrygb 00:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- The history has been restored.
I'm requesting the move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Turns out that was not necessary. -- S Sepp 00:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canonical iconography
We need something on the canonical iconography of the Last supper (as: who is almost always represented to the left and the right of Christ, how Judas is pointed out, etc.). David.Monniaux 21:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Original Painting
Shouldn't the article hold a picture of the original Da Vinci painting?
[edit] Categological edits
Please consolidate the discussion of categorization on the category_talk:Abrahamic mythology for clarity and simplicity's sake. unless concensus is against me, I plan on adding the Christian mythology tag to this article. The reasons are the same as for the other pages... see the discussion on abrahamic mythology for an over view of the points. (posted by User:134.161.241.176)
- There was a huge debate on whether biblical stories belonged in the mythology categories several months ago, and the consensus was that they did not. Please don't re-open the subject. DJ Clayworth 17:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
who is marrie?
[edit] Which is which?
It would be interesting to know which image in these paintings represents which disciple. Can someone add this information?
- Not here. Try The Last Supper (Leonardo) for example --Henrygb 00:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image
Image of Last Supper statue used in the Qormi procession was removed without any scope & reason. Maltesedog 07:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ?
("everyone has a little slice of the Truth"; but no one knows everything). (That's why there are still "mysteries" in the Church.)
I get what that's saying, but what does it have to do with anything? PS. It's badly punctuated.
