The last supper

This painting of the Last Supper by Bohdan Piasecki includes 6 women and 2 children, as well as Christ and His 12 apostles. Most classic paintings of the Last Supper (like Leonardo DaVinci’s Masterpiece) only show Christ and His 12 male apostles. But we know from scripture that Christ’s women disciples and His mother Mary had followed Him from Galilee up to Jerusalem, and the next day it was the women who were at the foot of the cross when the men ran away. This painting also shows a traditional Jewish Passover meal, with all the men wearing prayer shawls, eating with their right hands and reclining around a low table on cushions and rugs. In the front of the painting can be seen the basin and a towel from the washing of the feet.

So what do you think, would women and children be likely to be included or excluded by Jesus? I like to think he'd have included them; read more about this painting here.
