Were you aware that this performance was intended to evoke the god of wine, Dionysus, and a grand pagan celebration and not the last supper at all?

The Last Supper painting was done 1500 years after Jesus was said to be alive and takes inspiration from the culture and people around the time it was done. The painting itself is full of inaccuracies compared to the story of the last supper. Were you aware of these inaccuracies? The Apostles Wear Renaissance Clothing Instead Of Period-Appropriate Garb
