Just for fun - here's a stained glass window in a European church ...

Or the 1510 woodcut of the Last Supper portraying Jesus holding a woman, with six apostles to the left and six to the right.

yes, Albrect Dürer's - and there are more.

As a professional artist and writer - and lover of history, I have been following these 'ideas" for decades.

I hardly think Jesus would hold one of his male disciples in this manner - AND - there are 13 besides Jesus - ....

Here's another one with 13 besides Jesus - and a very female looking figure, with Jesus's hand on her shoulder - Oh, and no grail cup; by Crespi in 1500's

and a detail from the 1799 Last Supper by William Blake

P.S>

Just saw the movie - It followed he book faithfully - perhaps I liked it because I have been following the "ideas" for many years - so not as many 'surprises' - as "Oh yeahs" - good job on movie
