DVC: Leonardo’s Last Supper shows Mary Magdalene
as the Holy Grail
The fresco is unusual in
that it does not show a chalice at the Last Supper (p. 236).
There is no cup because the figure to right of Christ is female, and in
fact is Mary Magdalene the real vessel of Christ’s blood [Holy Grail]
(p. 243).
Leonardo’s Last Supper: Truth
The painting depicts a scene from the
Gospel of John (12:21-30) when Jesus announces that one of his disciples
will betray him, and Peter whispers to John to ask Jesus who it is.
This Gospel does not identify the Last
Supper as Jesus’ celebration of the Jewish Passover, or the
institution of the Eucharist. Therefore, Leonardo does not show a
central cup.
Franciabigio (1514)
Dominico Ghirlandaio (1480)
The lack of a chalice and the
representation of the Apostle John as young and beautiful (effeminate)
was common in Florentine
Renaissance depictions of the Last Supper.
(NB, Leonardo was born near Florence and
trained as an artist there; he painted his famous Last Supper, however,
in Milan.)
Also Note Well:
- The only alleged connection between
Leonardo da Vinci and Jesus/Mary Magdalene, according to The Da
Vinci Code, is the Priory of Sion.
Since this 'secret organization' is not older than 1956, Leonardo
could not have been its Grand Master, so all the speculation about
hidden messages in the renaissance master's art work is complete
fantasy. In Leonardo's time there just was no Priory of Sion for
the artist to be its Grand Master, and so he could not hide their
secrets in his art work (nor would there be any reason for him to do
so, supposing there were such secrets)!
