Back to Holy Sites Mount Zion, Jerusalem

The Cenacle (Upper Room)

Where the Last Supper was shared — bread broken, wine poured.

About This Holy Site

This room, though much altered through the centuries, marks the site of the Last Supper where Jesus instituted the Eucharist. Here also, the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles at Pentecost. A place where two of Christianity's most sacred events unfolded under one roof.

Biblical Significance

Matthew 26:17-30, Acts 2:1-4
