(Jerusalem) Archaeologists and researchers say Leonardo Da Vincis painting of The Last Supper doesnt paint an accurate picture of what was served. Eels and orange slices appear in the famed painting. However, eels and oranges were a common pairing in 15th-century Italy and were on Da Vincis grocery lists. Christian scripture says Jesus passed unleavened bread and wine around the table teaching his disciples that the wine and the bread would become the sacrificial lamb by which sins are forgiven to be reconciled with God. Archaeologists in Israel say the Passover Seder could have also included bitter herbs, figs, olive oil and honey. In 2007, then Pope Benedict the 16th theorized the Last Supper took place before the ritual sacrifice of the lambs so the meal likely didnt include lamb.
