A Holy Week tradition that originated in 1997 is returning to St. James United Methodist Church, 3100 Barrow St.

The Living Last Supper, which brings Leonardo da Vinci’s famed painting to life, features men of the church portraying Jesus and the 12 apostles at the Last Supper in the Upper Room. The public is invited to the free performances.

Performances will begin at 7 p.m. on the following evenings:
Saturday, March 28
Sunday, March 29 (Palm Sunday)
Thursday, April 2 (Maundy Thursday, the day of the actual Last Supper)

A promotional flier invites everyone to attend:

“Join us in the Upper Room for a dramatic presentation with Jesus and his apostles as we consider their individual reactions to Jesus’ warning that one of them will betray him.”
