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> There is an interesting distinction between the three [[synoptic Gospels]], which describe a [[Passover]] meal, and the [[Gospel of John]], which recounts an ordinary meal;<ref>The accounts by the four [[Gospels]] are compared [https://www.theedkins.co.uk/jo/gospels/block11.htm#bread here].</ref> the different ethnicities of the Gospel authors can explain variations in their understandings of whether it was a Passover meal.
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. Now it is a Moslem mosque.</ref>
