In all religions, the food is not only a vital aspect, but it is also a gift from God, and the act of eating for this reason, is a holy act. In this regard, food gets a higher value in the Orthodox Christian art and one of the scenes where this is more emphasized is the "Last Supper". After Christ was gathered with his disciples in the room, he took bread in his hands, broke it, and gave to them, saying, "Take and eat it:" This is my body for you. " Then he took the cup of wine and said to them: "Take and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, shed for you and for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me" .Eukaristia is the consecration of bread and wine, which are a spiritual food. Eating and drinking wine means to bind your life with the creator of the World. In both icons, except for the scene which focuses on the same moment, two icons have some differences from each other: on one there is a lamb on the dish, while on the other appears the fish. Lamb, fish, grapes and vineyard, wine, bread are symbols of the Eucharist. These symbols appear on the scene of the Last Supper, the night before the arrest of Christ. In the icons appear kitchen elements, such as plates, forks and knives. At the Pavilion of icons at the National History Museum, there are two icons that represent the Last supper.
