Iconography & Symbolism
The Mystical Supper Icon (also known as the Last Supper) depicts Christ seated with His disciples in the Upper Room on the night before His Passion. He blesses the bread and wine, instituting the Holy Eucharist. The Apostles are gathered around the table, with Judas often shown reaching toward the dish, symbolizing his betrayal. This icon is central to Orthodox teaching on the Divine Liturgy, where the faithful partake of Christ’s Body and Blood.
Above Christ’s head are the Greek letters IC XC, meaning “Jesus Christ.” His halo bears the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” affirming His divine nature.
Feast Day
The Mystical Supper is commemorated liturgically on Holy Thursday, during Holy Week, as the Church recalls the institution of the Eucharist.
