# Last Supper ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The last meal, a Passover supper, which Jesus ate with his disciples the night before he died. Jesus' passing over to his Father by his death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Last Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfills the Jewish Passover and anticipates the final Passover of the Church in the glory of the kingdom. Hence the Eucharist is called "the Lord's Supper" ([[1.2.2.4.p1o#^ccc-610|610]]-[[1.2.2.4.p1o#^ccc-611|611]], [[2.2.1.3.pp3y#^ccc-1329|1329]], [[2.2.1.3.pp3z#^ccc-1340|1340]]).
