when was the last supper

The Last Supper, the final meal Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion, took place during the week of Passover in Jerusalem. Historians estimate that the crucifixion happened between AD 30 and 36. More specifically, research by Colin Humphreys suggests that the Last Supper was on the evening of Wednesday, April 1, AD 33, based on his analysis of historical, biblical, and astronomical data. This date is slightly different from the traditional Christian observance of Maundy Thursday, which is the evening before Good Friday, commemorating Jesus' crucifixion. The Last Supper was likely a Passover meal held a few days before Jesus' crucifixion and subsequent resurrection on Sunday.
