The Living Last Supper is a living dramatization recreating Leonardo da Vinci's "THE LAST SUPPER" painting, with lighting, sound and music. The twelve apostles speak their minds to themselves, to each other and to the Lord in the light of the words, which they have just heard Jesus speak, "I will not be with you much longer, and one of you will betray me."
The Living Last Supper was written by Ernest K. Emurian and premiered in the Elm Avenue Methodist Church in Portmouth, Verginia in 1954. This communion service is always performed at Grace United Methodist Church on Maundy Thursday and was first perfomed at Grace in 1996. It has been presented 2 to 4 times per year outside of our church since 1998 for other churches, retirement homes and prisons.
