Synopsis
The last supper has been given to prisoners facing the death penalty as long as the punishment has existed. The tradition stems from funeral rites where the deceased person was given food on his deathbed to prtect him on his journey to the afterlife. Today, the condemned person has been detached form its origin and can be perceived to be as absurd as the punishment it accompanies.
