On the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples asked Jesus where he wanted to eat the Passover meal. Jesus told two of his disciples how to find a room that was prepared for them. In the Gospel of Luke, we are told that Peter and John were the two disciples that were sent. You can find the account in Matthew 26:17-19, Mark 14:12-16, and Luke 27:7-13.
The twelve were with Jesus in the room and sat down for the meal. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and wine and blessed them. The blessing is in Mathew, Mark, and Luke. The Gospel of John is the only one that tells about the washing of the disciples' feet.
The last supper is also mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.
Make the Bread
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. (Luke 22:19 KJV)
Supplies;
- Brown or orange construction paper
- White paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Cut a 5 by 5 1/2 inch rectangle from brown or orange construction paper.
Also, cut a 4 1/2 by 5-inch rectangle from white paper for the inside of the bread.
Fold the rectangle in half and draw a line 1/2 inch from the cut edge and 2 1/2 inches long. Then, draw a curved line to the edge. Next, round the corners and draw the line so that it goes slightly up before the folded edge. This will be the crust.
Do the same for the white piece of paper.
Cut on the lines.
Trim if necessary.
Glue the white paper to the brown paper.
Craft to Represent the Wine
“Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”” (Luke 22:20 KJV) (in the King James Version new testament is not capitalized in this verse)
You will need;
- White paper
- Purple paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Cut two 6 by 9-inch rectangles from white paper. Fold one in half, so it is 3 inches wide.
Draw a curved line from the cut edge. Now, draw a line 1/2 inch wide by 4 inches long for the stem of the wine glass. From the stem, draw a curved line 2 inches for the bottom of the glass.
Cut out the center of the glass, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Do the same with the other white rectangle.
Cut a 6 by 4-inch rectangle from purple paper.
Glue the purple paper on one side of the glass.
Turn over and glue the other glass on the other side.
Trim so that the purple is not showing.
