The Last Supper is linked with which Jewish event?

• A. Passover
• B. Hanukkah
• C. Sukkot
• D. Purim

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing the link between Jesus’ Last Supper and a specific Jewish festival. The Last Supper is described in the Gospel accounts as occurring during Passover, the festival that commemorates God’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Passover observances center on a seder with unleavened bread and wine, retelling the Exodus story. In that context, Jesus uses the meal to give new meaning to the bread and the cup, saying they represent his body and his blood and inviting his followers to continue this act in remembrance of him. This connection is why the Last Supper is understood as linked to Passover and as the origin of what Christians call the Lord’s Supper or Communion. The other festivals—Hanukkah, Sukkot, Purim—have different historical meanings and do not frame the meal in the same way.
