About this audio guide
This guide to The Upper Room chapel in Nashville centers on the carved recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, built by sculptor Ernest Pellegrini and fifty craftspeople for the chapel's opening in nineteen fifty-three. It traces the scene to the biblical room in Jerusalem the ministry is named for, and to the devotional magazine a Texas Sunday school teacher started nearly two decades earlier. Along the way it touches the meal's turn toward betrayal and the trial that followed. Stand close to study the carved faces.
