At this supper, he told them to share bread and wine to remember him.
In the story of Jesus’ life, he had supper with his friends on the night before he died on the cross. This is a time of preparation characterised by penitence, fasting and prayer in which the Christian church prepares for the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection in Holy Week and at Easter. Ash Wednesday is the first day of the season of Lent.
