If you’d like to have your own Last Supper to celebrate Holy Week, here’s a family-friendly menu.
Last Supper Dinner- A Christ-Centered Easter Tradition
If you’re looking for a way to keep Christ in Easter, having a Last Supper family dinner on the Thursday of Holy Week is a great way!
A few years ago, I wanted to add more spiritual celebrations to our Easter Season. We already had the Easter bunny visit on Saturday, but I knew we could focus a whole lot more during Easter Week. (Get all the Holy Week details here)
You can often find Passover meals to attend during Easter time, but they are long, deep, and not super family-friendly.
So…that’s when I decided to create our own Last Supper dinner program.
Last Supper Menu
Instead of the typical Passover menu, we chose to eat things that may have been similar to the things Christ would have eaten.
Family-Friendly Menu:
- Crockpot Lentil soup (recipe below)
- Garlic Pita bread and hummus
- sliced tomatoes
- olives
- grapes
- Sparkling Cider (Martinelli’s)
- Rosemary chicken kabobs
Last Supper Program
I found a few different Passover dinner programs online, yet they all seemed to be too long and complicated for a young family. After lots of searching, I was never able to find just what I was looking for, so I compiled my own.
We follow a Simple Passover Dinner program on the Thursday before Easter. It is short and simple, but focuses on the events of Jesus Christ’s life on that Thursday night during Easter week.
Family-Friendly Last Supper and Passover Meal Program

On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
