Mosaic Of The Last Supper Of Jesus 

The Last Supper Of Jesus was a Passover meal that Jesus held in the upper room of a building in Jerusalem. This was an intimate meal with Jesus and his disciples in attendance. 

 "Crown of Thorns" Branches of the Acacia Tree 

It is said that Jesus wore a "Crown of Thorns" as he carried His cross up the hill. Look at the wicked thorns. They are several times larger than a rose thorn and much sharper. They are so sharp, that needles were often made from these thorns.

Someday, I would like to immerse myself in a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and see these objects and places with my own eyes. I believe it would be a fulfilling and enriching experience.
