Saturday December 14, 2013 Last Supper reenactment

Students did a reenactment in the auditorium on the Savior's last supper with his apostles.  According to the culture of the time, Jesus and the apostles probably reclined on their left arm, rested on a pillow, and used their right hand to eat.  This better explains how Jesus could wash their feet, and how John could lay his head on Jesus' bosom to ask him about his betrayer.

 Jesus was the guest of honor and sat at the head of the table on the left, opposite the entrance to the room, flanked by James and John.
 
 The other apostles were seated around the other two sides.

The chief apostle Peter would have been seated on the third side at the end of the table, in front of the entrance to the room.

 The entrance would have been on the right, Peter on the corner on the right, Jesus in the center on the left between James and John.  The 4th side was open for serving.

After church we held a farewell branch social for members and the students who leave on Wednesday.

Linda as Relief Society President along with JoAnn Seely and Erin Belnap were in charge of the food.  Alexis Nickel and Achmed, the chef and his co-workers helped with the presentation.
