In this historical depiction, we find an ancient painting inside the Chapel of St. John in the old city of Jerusalem. The artwork, dating back to the year 1870, portrays the iconic scene of the Last Supper as told in the Gospel of John. The painting captures the solemn moment following Jesus' announcement of betrayal, a poignant narrative within Christian tradition. The painting bears the marks of time, evident in its weathered appearance. Some peeling and stains, acquired over the years, contribute to the aged charm of the artwork, emphasizing its historical significance. The wear and tear become a part of the painting's story, reflecting the passage of time and the countless individuals who have interacted with this sacred depiction. The inscription at the bottom of the painting, written in both Greek and Arabic languages, serves as a testament to its origin and custodianship. It states that the painting was created in the year 1870, under the care of Jeries Hanania and Issa Kirt. This inscription provides valuable context, linking the artwork to specific individuals and a particular moment in history. The painting becomes more than a mere representation of the Last Supper; it becomes a tangible artifact, a testament to the enduring nature of faith and artistic expression across centuries. Its presence in the old city of Jerusalem connects worshippers and visitors alike to the sacred narrative and the historical custodians who preserved this meaningful artwork over time.
