Broken Bread, Broken Body

Comments

I posted this, for Maundy Thursday, to bring out what it must have been like, at the Last Supper, when Jesus took the bread, and said 'This is my Body' and, knowing what would happen to him the next day, Good Friday, he tore the bread in half; how do you respond to the painting? Love and God bless, Andy

This is very powerful with the focus just on the hands and the bread and then especially alongside the words, "Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you"
