when did the last supper happen

The Last Supper is traditionally commemorated on Maundy Thursday , the night before Jesus’s crucifixion in Christian tradition. Some historians and scholars argue it may have happened on Wednesday, April 1, AD 33 instead, based on calendar reconstructions.

Short answer

• Traditional view: Thursday evening before Good Friday.

• One scholarly proposal: Wednesday, April 1, AD 33.

• Broader historical range: Many sources place it around 33 CE.

Why there is debate

The Bible’s Gospel accounts are not perfectly aligned on the timing, so historians have offered different reconstructions.

Bottom line

If you mean the religious tradition , it happened on Maundy Thursday. If you mean the historical-date debate , one well-known proposal puts it on April 1, AD 33.
