3.1 What is so important about the Last Supper?

KW:

Feast of Unleavened Bread- First day of the Passover festival

Last Supper- When Jesus ate with His disciples for the last time and the moment where the Eucharist was discovered.

Passover- Jewish festival celebrating the release from Egypt

-upper room- The room where the Last Supper took place

-Passover. It is a whole week in the year where Jewish families get together and eat a meal in memory of the freedom of slavery of Jews.

-'This is my blood'- sacrifice

-'Covenant'- Prophets made a promise with God, Jesus made a promise with God that He will forgive our sins.
