The Last Supper takes place during dinner on third Friday, the last dinner at CTY, supposedly from 5:45 to 6:00.

Second Session

The current holders of the Jesus and Satan titles make speeches and pass on their relics at this time. Jesus's speech usually reference one or both Bibles: the Christian Bible and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In addition, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Conqueror Worm" is read in remembrance of Phil Gunn, though not necessarily by Jesus himself. All nomores (as the "apostles") are invited to sit at the apostles' table to eat the 'Body of Christ' (pasta/french fries) and to drink the 'Blood of Christ' (cranberry juice, cherry coke, fruit punch, etc.). This can be a lighthearted or depressing time, depending on the speeches and whether one can hear them. The apostles' table was formerly located along the left wall of the dining room entrance hall. Recently, it has relocated to the Land of the Large Round Tables, which was, in some years, opened solely to house the Last Supper.

Soon after dinner, everyone rushes outside to hear the lower Canon, played at dinner because the last dance is too short to contain so much Canon. During the Lower Canon and the Afterdance, the two roles and their relics are shared by both the outgoing nomore and incoming onemore. However, American Pie is still done by the actors from the current year.

First Session

During First Session, a person is appointed the role of Jesus only for the Last Supper in order to make a speech, often involving a quote from both of the Bibles (the Hitchhiker's Guide, and the actual Bible). There is no Satan for First Session (the person who plays Satan in American Pie has no connection to the Last Supper). The Body of Christ and Blood of Christ are still consumed. All nomores are encouraged to sit at the table whether they know anybody else there or not.

During 2007, with the creation of the Trinity, the Last Supper tradition changed. It was the duty of the Holy Ghost to lead the nomores in grace, thus commencing the dinner. Then, during the actual consumption of food, the Son made the traditional Jesus speech.

Last Suppers Past

2007.1

In 2007, Site Director Brian Bloomfield provided three cakes for the nomores. When faced with said cakes, the Trinity proceeded to first smear the words off the cakes (which read "The", "Last", and "Supper"), then smear frosting upon the face of each nomore. Lastly, the Father cut the first slice of cake. The leftover cake in 2007 was presented to Frank Wang who proceeded to eat it... with his face.

2007.2

Brian once again provided cakes during second session. Frank Wang approached the table and stated that he was going on patrol and if we were going to cake him, we should do it right then. Since he was too far away to smear with cake, people began taking handfuls of cake and throwing them at him, missing pathetically because CTY kids are not athletic, and hitting instead the walls and floor. Later, while the Lower Canon was playing, Brian the amazing Site Director came out and told us if we cleaned up the room really well we could hear more of the Canon. Everyone teamed up and got it done. We all felt terrible because Brian had been extremely nice in giving us our own big room for Last Supper and cakes, and we'd trashed the room. There was an apology note being passed around at Passionfruit, it is unclear whether he ever received it.
