- Go to The Last Supper always cracked me up
JanesOpinion - I don't happen to think that the Last Supper was a
Jewish Seder. The ritualistic meal as observed by the modern day Jewish community (and now spreading to the gentiles) as a form of remembrance likely did not exist back then, though it's origins are hard to pinpoint. I do however catch your drift, some experiences can be extremely thought provoking and influencial towards one's perspective. An experience where I was affected in this manner was during a tour of the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.

Gomedome, someday you should consider attending a REAL
Jewish Seder. It is a wonderful experience. (This is the meal in da Vinci's insipid painting of the Last Supper.) There's so much more to it than what da Vinci portrayed. For that matter, the celebration of Seder (Passover) is so rich and filled with history and meaning.
Experiencing a real Seder would be far more thought provoking and intense an experience than anything Sister Neverhadaman or Da Vinci could portray.

Burly - some of have seen faith for exactly what it is
but I am sure that is completely beyond your comprehension.

Some of us have what's called "faith" but I'm sure you don't understand that!
