The Last Supper

One of the best paintings we have in this world is the "Last Supper" by Leonardo Da Vinci. The painting is about Jesus's last meal with his 12 apostles before his death. It depicts the bread and the wine and when Jesus tells his disciples, "Do this in remembrance of me", (1 Corinthians 11:23–25).

What is interesting is that Leonardo Da Vinci was a member of a hidden society called Prior of Scion (which is also related to the "Illuminati" ), and the painting has more to it than just it's religious theme.

I'm not claiming that what I'm saying here is true. (So don't judge me) It maybe just a conspiracy theory. But If you look at the painting there's actually no grail in it.

The theory explains that the grail (the holy cup) holds the blood of Jesus is the same cup that supposedly contains the blood of his crucifixion; This is seen by many as a Christian metaphor. However, many people actually believe that the grail is more than just an idea - it represents a human being that holds the child of Jesus (and possibly the merovingian blood line).

To some, the latter theory is considered blasphemy - a made up story to destroy Christianity. Whatever the real story is, we may never know. In the end, it all boils down to your beliefs and convictions.

Here's a link to a 16-billion pixel image of the last supper (worlds highest resolution). This is the only image that the Italian government allowed (and there will never be another one )
