“…The Synoptic accounts of the Last Supper leave us with a unified impression: Jesus has gathered the apostles into the upper room to transform an old feast into a completely new one.” This sentence sums up, in essence, this essay by theologian Curtis Mitch. He explains the details of the Seder meal and shows how it is both fulfilled and transformed by the Last Supper. He speaks also of its significance in the history of the Jews, and how this significance continues for us in the Mass that the Church celebrates every day.
