Jerusalem, Room of the last supper, The Cenacle
Since at least the fourth century CE a structure identified as the Cenacle, the site of the Last Supper, has been a popular Christian pilgrimage site on Mount Sion in Jerusalem. It is documented in the narratives of many early pilgrims such as Egeria, who visited in 384.[12] The building has experienced numerous cycles of destruction and reconstruction, culminating in the Gothic structure which stands today.
the Cenacle is considered the site where many other events described in the New Testament took place,[3][4] such as:
the Washing of the Feet[5]
some resurrection appearances of Jesus[6][7][8]
the gathering of the disciples after the Ascension of Jesus[9]
the election of Saint Matthias as apostle[10]
the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost[11]
While the church was destroyed sometime after 1219, the Cenacle was spared.[16] In the 1340s, it passed into the custody of the Franciscan Order of Friars, who maintained the structure until 1552, when the Ottoman Empire took possession of it. After the Franciscan friars' eviction, this room was transformed into a mosque, as evidenced by the mihrab in the direction of Mecca and an Arabic inscription prohibiting public prayer at the site. Christians were not allowed to return until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
