“And when the hour came”*

Most depictions in art of the Last Supper are pretty terrible in my opinion, but I kind of like this one.
The Last Supper by Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (1952-1929)
Here’s a Protestant version by Lucas Cranach the Younger, 1565, with leading Reformers portrayed as the Apostles, and the Elector of Saxony kneeling.
I wonder whose face he used for Judas? The pope?
Here’s Albrecht Durer’s woodcut of the Last Supper.
Tonight I will skip the Maundy Thursday service at church with its foot washing etc, but I will do my hour, staying awake in quiet prayer with Jesus at our overnight vigil in the chapel.
It’s the least I can do.
*Luke 22:14
