This 2009 interpretation of The Last Supper is by contemporary artist Lorna May Wadsworth. Featuring the Jamacan-born model Tafari Hinds as Christ.
It hit the headlines in the summer of 2020 when the artist heard it had been shot while in situ behind the altar of a church in Gloucestershire. The damage occurred on Christ’s right side, the same place a Roman soldier pierced the body of Jesus with his spear as he hung from the cross. (Gospel of St John 19.34)
Do you know in which Church in Gloucestershire it was originally hung, Cherie?
The painting, which has hung as an altarpiece in St George’s, Nailsworth, near Stroud, since 2010, was being moved by the artist, Lorna May Wadsworth, for an exhibition in Sheffield, when she noticed the damage.

No rum on the table?
Outrageous!
It should only be wine on the table… but it looks like spirits are present
I know, the rum is reserved for our special guest, Tafari.
