The Last Supper, the Mystical Supper. Wooden orthodox icon

Wooden Icon of the Last Supper, the Mystical Supper

The Last Supper has a broad meaning, since it symbolizes a certain beginning of a new life path for all humanity and at the same time is a vivid symbol of a new stage in the relationship between the Almighty and the people as a whole. This icon is located in every Orthodox Christian church above the entrance to the altar. This is also why only bread and wine are sacrificed, since blood has not been shed since time immemorial, because it was at one time redeemed by Jesus Christ.

Almost every person, and especially a Christian, knows that throughout the year a certain sacrament is performed in a church or temple, which was previously established by the Almighty. It was at that moment, on the eve of Easter night, at the Last Supper, that a significant event occurred, which is reflected in this shrine. It is important to note that 2000 years ago, Passover was celebrated in honor of the liberation of the then Jews from Egyptian slavery. In those days, Jesus Christ washed the disciples’ feet with his own hands and shared the evening meal with them. He broke the bread and distributed it to the apostles, and after the bread they passed the cup. It is these events that are displayed in this icon.

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

• 13 х 9 centimeters (5,1 x 3,5 inches)
• 19 х 13 centimeters (7,5 x 5,1 inches)
• 26 х 17 centimeters (10,2 x 6,7 inches)
