The Last Supper Table At Lija

Malta Independent Sunday, 5 April 2009, 00:00 Last update: about 17 years ago

As in previous years, the Parish of Lija is organising a replica of the Last Supper Table according to Jewish custom at the Old Parish Church of Our Saviour. This is the 39th time that this replica is being made; it is the first one of its kind and has lost none of its original characteristics.

The entrance, which is free, will be approximately every 15 minutes. Visitors are asked to remain inside till the end of the commentary so as not to disturb the others present. The commentary will be alternating between English and Maltese.

Times of showing are as follows:

Wednesday 8 April: 7.30pm: Opening and blessing of The Last Supper Table. The opening and blessing ceremony, for which everyone is cordially invited, is in the form of a prayer-vigil, with singing of hymns, reading of excerpts from the Bible, and sharing of spiritual thoughts. At the end, wine and bread are served to those present in memory of the real event. Maundy Thursday, 9 April: 7pm to 10pm; Good Friday, 10 April: 9am to 12.30pm.
