The Last Supper

If I could sum this program up in one word, it would be overwhelming! It means a great deal to me to have been selected for this trip and I would like to thank everyone that helped me along the way. And I would especially like to thank Dr. Melanie St. Jean and Professor Rea Caloura, along with Maria Arona, who has made this program a lifetime experience and an enormous step in my life!

Yesterday we attended the Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci at the Santa Maria della Grazie. Da Vinci painted the Last Supper in the 15th for his patron Duke Ludovico Sforza and his duchess Beatrice d'Este and it represents the scene of The Last Supper from the final days of Jesus as narrated in the Gospel of John 13:21, when Jesus announces that one of his Twelve Apostles would betray him. At first standing in front of the painting was unbelievable, I was at a loss for words, and still at a loss of words. It’s definitely a bucket list item.

After attending the Last Supper, later in the evening we had our “Last Supper” as a group! The night was full of fun and laughter. We celebrated our time here and enjoyed each other’s company. And to finish the night we headed out for a night on the town in Milano one last time, or at least until next time! I can definitely see Milano in my future……
