Hand-Carved Last Supper Wall Art
A Sacred Reminder of Christ's Covenant: The Institution of the Eucharist
"And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'" — Luke 22:19
This exquisitely hand-carved wall art captures the profound moment when Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist—the sacred meal that continues to nourish and unite believers across centuries. Carved from a single piece of wood, it transforms the Gospel narrative into a tangible presence for your home, inviting contemplation of the New Covenant established through Christ's body and blood.
"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." — 1 Corinthians 11:26
🌟 The Sacred Narrative in Wood
This carving captures the depth of the Paschal Mystery—the final meal where Jesus foretold His sacrifice and established the sacrament of His enduring presence:
The Central Figure of Christ – Jesus is depicted at the moment of institution, blessing the bread and wine that would become His body and blood. This posture reminds us of His words: "Take, eat; this is my body... Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" (Matthew 26:26-28).
The Twelve Apostles – Each disciple's unique response reflects the varied ways believers receive Christ's revelation. Their gathering around the Lord illustrates the birth of the Christian community, united by the Eucharist and called to continue Christ's mission in the world.
The Shared Meal – The table setting symbolizes communion—both the sacramental communion of the Eucharist and the fellowship of believers who are "one body" in Christ (1 Corinthians 10:17). It reminds us that through His sacrifice, we are invited to the heavenly banquet.
This carving serves as a visual catechism, reminding us that at the Last Supper, Jesus transformed the Passover meal into the sacrifice of the New Covenant—foreshadowing His offering on Calvary where His precious blood would be shed for the redemption of humanity.

A Eucharistic Prayer for the Home
"Lord Jesus, as we display this image of Your Last Supper,
Help us to remember the covenant You established
Through Your body broken and blood shed for us.
May this carving be more than decoration—
Let it be a window to that sacred night,
A reminder of Your abiding presence in the Eucharist,
And a call to live in communion with You and one another.
Bless our home with the peace of that upper room,
And nourish us always with the bread of life.
Amen."
The Living Memorial of His Sacrifice
This hand-carved Last Supper wall art is more than a decorative piece—it is a visual sacramentale, a sacred sign that points to the reality of Christ's love and sacrifice. May its presence in your home be a constant reminder that "the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me'" (1 Corinthians 11:23-24).
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
— John 6:51
