The Last Supper was [[Jesus]]' final meal with his [[Apostles]] before His Passion. This event, which was held in an upper room in or around Jerusalem, is described in detail in all four [[Gospels]]. The room is unknown but probably 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 of Sion.<ref>Destroyed and rebuilt in the second millennium, this room was under the authority of the Franciscans until 1561. Now it is a Moslem mosque.</ref>
