The Last Supper
On Holy Thursday, the Paoli United Methodist Church presented the Last Supper as a play.
Eric Harmon introduced the play and provided some information about Leonardo da Vinci's mural painting from the 1490s. He also related the painting and the story of the Last Supper to The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
The play opened in an upper room, with a table set for dinner. The disciples then entered, took their seats, and told the audience what the Bible says about their characters.
