The '''Last Supper''' was [[Jesus]]' final meal with his [[Apostles]] before the [[Passion of Christ]]. This event, which was held in an upper room in or around [[Jerusalem]], is described in detail in all four [[Gospels]].  Today the room is thought to have been the Cenacle, located on the second floor of a building that is claimed by all three major religions: [[Judaism]] (for housing [[King David]]'s tomb), [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]].<ref>https://www.npr.org/2012/04/05/150016572/vatican-israel-spar-over-disputed-last-supper-site</ref>

The room is unknown but probably belonged to a follower of Jesus, as the Apostles continued to meet there after the [[Resurrection]].  Subsequently, it became the first church in [[Jerusalem]], known as the Church of the Apostles or the Church of Sion.<ref>Destroyed and rebuilt in the second millennium, this room was under the authority of the Franciscans until 1561.
