As in previous years, the parish of Lija is organising a replica of the Last Supper Table according to Jewish custom at the old parish church of Our Saviour.
This is the 47th time that this replica is being made but it has lost none of its original characteristics.
The entrance, which is free, will be approximately every 15 minutes. Visitors are asked to remain inside till the end of the commentary so as not to disturb the others present. The commentary will be alternately in English and in Maltese.
Viewing times are as follows:
Today
7.30pm: Opening and blessing of the Last Supper Table. This takes the form of a prayer vigil, with singing of hymns, reading of excerpts from the Bible and sharing of spiritual thoughts. At the end, wine and bread are served to those present in memory of the real event which took place so long ago.
Tomorrow, Maundy Thursday
8.30pm to 10.30pm
Good Friday
9am to 12.30pm
