Album Info:
According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified on the holiday of Passover. The night before, he had the Passover supper with his Disciples. It is believed that the Last Supper was here, just above David's Tomb, relying on Acts 2 29, where Peter says that the sepulchre of David "is with us unto this day". In the Muslim period this building became a Muslim sanctuary. Notice the mihrab at the wall on the right, indicating the direction of Mecca, towards which Muslims pray.
