For those who observe, remember that the new commandment given this night is to love one another.

The #LastSupper ( #MaundyThursday ) is associated with a #Passover #seder observed by Jesus.
Hence, the "1st #fullmoon after the #vernalequinox " part of dating #Easter (Feast of the Resurrection), which occurs on the following Sunday.

The Thursday before Easter, we remember the Last Supper. Today I offer you a detail from one of the most famous artworks in the world: by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), Christ from the Last Supper, 1495-1498, tempera on gesso, pitch and mastic, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Italy. #davinci #fresco #lastsupper #arthistory

From the blog “Italian Art for Travelers,” © 2023 Gerriann Brower: “Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper is one of his most admired and recognizable art works. It is iconic, has been reproduced endlessly, parodied, and woven into conspiracy theories. Sometimes we’ve seen an artwork so many times we no longer see the qualities of the masterpiece. We may not be familiar with its place in history, or know why the art challenged the status quo.

Leonardo’s painting is full of symbolic meaning, but perhaps not what you think. There are no secret messages about mysterious societies and hidden clues like Dan Brown wrote about in The Da Vinci Code (2003). This fictional story is so persuasive I have had people ask me if The Da Vinci Code is true. Without a doubt, it is a very entertaining book. However, Jesus did not impregnant Mary Magdalene, and she is not disguised as an apostle. The Roman Catholic church has not been hiding their offspring, nor is St. John disguised as a woman. The apostle St. Peter did not contrive to hide the evidence of their relationship and child. Leonardo did not belong to secret societies such as the Priory of Sion or Knights Templar. He was much too busy writing in his notebooks and studying nature.”

What if Jesus' message, often misunderstood and misused, holds clues to physical truths that could help address today’s challenges? Could there be more to his teachings than we've realized? (Note: my approach doesn’t deny its spiritual value, but explores whether there’s a scientific basis behind the universal principles of his message.) #painting #science #religion #spirituality #philosophy #faith #truth #Jesus #LastSupper #philosophyofscience

In Christianity, today is Maundy Thursday, the first day of the Triduum Sacrum (the Holy Three Days), which consists of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Today marks the commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ and his 12 disciples.

From newspapers and magazines, Tim Roeloffs cuts and slices pictures and glues them together into a collage, in which a new, fantastic world emerges. After working as a tennis instructor, Tim Roeloffs settled in Berlin in 1992 and joined the artists' initiative Tacheles. After art and culture house Tacheles closed in 2012, Tim has worked in various workshops in Berlin and his work is available at various galleries.

In the shadowed upper room, Jesus breaks bread: "This is my body... this is my blood." Ebon Eucharist meditates on betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption's dawn piercing the night.
