Millions of women who publicly disclaim feminism have nevertheless reached out with both hands for the chance it has opened up for them (Miles 10). And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body. At that time in Palestine, food was placed on low tables and guests ate in reclining position on floor cushions and carpets," Urciuoli said.

And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.'But this isn't the book I got. Instead I got a rant of epic proportions using carefully and selectively chosen research loosely strung together using in chapters that only differed in content by the heading. Often I would find myself reading on a subject and think "Oh, I thought I finished this chapter" only to look up and see indeed I had. The chapter title had changed but the subject matter hadn't. In a chapter seemingly on "Women and Empire" and supposedly about how women during the age of colonialism fared (both native and colonial), women who ran bordellos in America's wild west were discussed...at length.

What I haven’t given much thought to when sharing communion on Maundy Thursday is the question Rosalind Miles asks in her book title: Who cooked the Last Supper? One solution is to elevate and amplify the voices and stories of women in the culinary field. This can be done through initiatives such as highlighting women-led restaurants, hosting culinary events and festivals that center women's contributions, and promoting cookbooks and resources authored by women. By actively seeking out and celebrating women's work, we can challenge the prevailing narrative and reshape societal perceptions about the value and importance of women's labor in cooking.

Humphreys, Colin J. (2011). The Mystery of the Last Supper. Cambridge: University Press. ISBN 978-0521732000. Last Supper, in the New Testament, the final meal shared by Jesus and his disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, the occasion of the institution of the Eucharist. The story of the Last Supper on the night before Christ’s crucifixion is reported in four books of the New Testament ( Matthew 26:17–29; Mark 14:12–25; Luke 22:7–38; and I Corinthians 11:23–25). The letters of the St. Paul the Apostle and the Acts of the Apostles demonstrate that early Christians believed that this institution included a mandate to continue the celebration as an anticipation in this life of the joys of the banquet that was to come in the kingdom of God. On this Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus, one who fed hungry people and washed weary feet and touched lepers and ate with folks no one else wanted to eat with. We give thanks for one who showed us how to love, how to heal, how to redeem a wounded and hurting world.Kasser, R.; Meyer, M.; Wurst, G.; Gaudard, F. (2008). The Gospel of Judas, Second Edition.
