Look, DaVinci WASN'T AT THE LAST SUPPER!!

I always laugh at the same thing: These guys act as though da Vinci took a snapshot of the event, and there were ghosts in the negatives.

Maybe I’m missing something. We’re discussing a figure in a DaVinci painting of Jesus and his 12 apostles at the last supper. You make the following statement...

“It’s St. John (as in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).”

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the writers of the 4 Gospels, all of which, I understand, were written beginning 80-100 AD by people that were not of the original 12.

I may be worng about that fact but not about you linking the apostle in the painting with one of the 4 authors of the gospels.

Last supper by QEII et al.

Look close and you can see Mr. Iscariot.

>>> “I noticed a strange effect, like a shadow, when I was looking through a magazine with a reproduction of The Last Supper,” the 36-year-old explained.

>>>“So I scanned the painting and printed it onto a transparent sheet, which I then laid over the original image.

I don't understand why this genius had to scan the image.

Scanning magazine images, if done improperly, will result in bleed through from whatever is on the back of the page you're scanning. It didn't say how he scanned it, or whether or not he used black paper behind the scanned page. Which is a common method of preventing bleed through.

Don’t laugh too hard. Darth Vader is forever enshrined in what’s called a “grotesque” at the National Cathedral. Very strange.

These women were scrubbed from the traditions during the Reformation...

The mythology that had grown up around these women were srubbed away but the examples of the women themselves were not scrubbed away. There's a big difference. I can't tell how often it is noted in evangelical churches that the first people that Jesus appeared to after his resurrection were women.

Stories like that of St. Margaret of Antioch being swallowed by a dragon (or serpent) and causing it to blow up because she held a cross were no longer taught for very good reasons.
