Product Description
Filmed and dramatized entirely on authentic locations of the Holy Land and the Middle East, this is the most elaborate and extensive film ever made on the Last Supper. Jesus met with his twelve disciples in the "upper room" in Jerusalem, where they shared that historic meal. It was the traditional Jewish Passover "Seder" meal, which to this day symbolizes the deliverance from slavery to freedom and is commemorated for the last supper the ancient Hebrews shared before leaving Egypt, on their long journey to the Promised Land.

The Last Supper emphasizes both its Christian tradition and Jewish roots. In addition to the authoritative historical and cultural background, the program explores the recipes of the exotic Biblical courses served at the supper: bread, salads, herbs, olive dish, lamb, wine, fruit, and all other magnificent courses. A recipe booklet with authentic Biblical recipes for the meal is included in pdf format.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
-View in English or Spanish

-Includes recipe booklet in pdf format

3.0 out of 5 stars Layman's view of the last Supper, April 10, 2007

By	Mr. Lee C. T. Andrew (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very general view of the Last Supper and gives only an idea of what it was like. The seating arrangements were more European than Jewish and the bread used is leavened rather than unleavened. It is the accepted views rather than the actual based on latest research. Da Vinci's last supper is a nice picture but lousy history. After all, Da Vinci was a artist and not a historian. This DVD gives a very general view and perpetuates some misconceptions. But generally, it is a reasonable attempt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great History Lessons, September 2, 2007

By	John S. Oliver (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here are visual history lessons for the greater context for the Last Supper.

The New and Old Testaments intersect in this single event.

The many short clips give a fast tour of the dozens of events that climax at this occasion.

The costumes, sets and various locations provide a visual amplification of the biblical texts.

The narrator provides historical background to the events as they unfold. This information helps the viewer to understand the importance of the events as they are unfolding.

Watching the meal prepared and cooked in the manner of that era is a valuable lesson.

There is instruction on how the Jewish Passover is observed today as well as in the days of Jesus.

This is an historical account without any religious interpretation or commentary.

This movie is highly recommended for all audiences. Christians can better understand the Jewish roots of their faith. And those who are not Christians can better understand this historic event that became the source for the sacrament of Holy Communion.
