    Apart from bread and wine, what might Jesus' Last Supper have consisted of?

    Question #46214. Asked by gmackematix. (Apr 08 04 7:17 PM)

    It wouldn't even have had bread. It was a Passover Seder. It would have had unleavened bread (known as matzah). There was also a good collection of fruits.

    This is the ingredients of the Seder plate, but documents suggest that any form of dessert was missing from Jesus's meal.

    Hard boiled egg - everything in boiling water becomes soft and disintegrates, but an egg becomes hard like the Israelites. Also symbolizes new life.

    Roasted shankbone of lamb - reminds them there had to be blood sacrificed to save their lives.

    Bitter herbs - horseradish - servants to slavery.

    Parsley dipped in salt water - fresh green symbol of hope with the salty tears cried in Egypt.

    Haroset - a wine, nut and apple mixture which resemble mud/mortar used to build the treasure cities for Pharaoh. A symbol of hope of freedom.

    Last night in a re-enactment of this meal we had Halva as a desert, but I can't say whether this is truly symbolic, or a present day addition. It was delicious though!
