The Last Supper depicts Jesus at a table with his apostles celebrating the Passover meal (Seder) prior to the betrayal and his crucifixion. The Seder is the Jewish ritual meal commemorating the “passing over” of the angel of death in the book of Exodus.
The firstborns of all homes that had the mark of the blood of the sacrificial lamb over their doors were spared. This occurred on the eve of the flight (exodus) from slavery into freedom. DaVinci places Jesus as the triangular focal point in this piece, flanked by his disciples, framed by the doorway behind him and with all the lines of perspective in the ceiling and walls radiating out from his head.
