Endnote 6 – Dining in Heaven

Throughout the Middle Ages, some of these elements came to be incorporated in Last Supper images: A mosaic in the church of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, for example, shows Jesus reclining at the head of a sigma-shaped table with the apostles (see last supper mosaic). On the table are seven small loaves of bread and a platter bearing two fish.
