Well, Joshua, was the Last Supper a Passover meal?  I'm sure if I was a
student of the Bible, I would know this, but I'm not sure.  Yes, I agree that
Christ was born into a middle class family with a carpentry business.  Even
his place of birth was one that under the circumstances demonstrated that
Joseph had enough money to secure a warm place even under very crowded
conditions.  The poor would have been huddled outside the caravansaray walls
which provided little safety and proximity to the toilet area.  There are
still villages where people go "outside the walls" for toilet purposes.  I
have never known any Jews who have taken a vow of poverty, so I do not know
what vessels they allow themselves with which to celebrate Passover.
There's something incongruous about  a group who have taken a vow of poverty
drinking wine from a jewel encrusted cup.  Prudy

Now that's funny.  I'll accept the opinion that Jesus never existed, but
there seems to be a LOT of history there.  Prudy

  I have a hard time with the "ornate cups" that are supposed to be the Holy
  Grail.  Christ and disciples had vowed poverty.  That they would have gone to
  a lower class type of restaurant to eat and drink together makes good sense.

 IF and it is a big IF, the last supper was a Passover meal, then there is no
 reason that the cup should not be ornate. Jews to this day use ornate cups
 for religious purposes.

 Jesus ( not Christ, we are discussing history not fantasy ) and his deciples
 might have taken a vow of poverty, but he had rich backers and adherents in
 his movement. Some of the deciples came from rich families, and he had the
 support of people like Joseph of Arimethea who was wealthy enough to own a
 family tomb.

 As for the lower class restaurant, it's possible I guess, but I doubt it.
 It is far more likely that he and some desciples had Seder with a family in
 a private home. This " lower class " stuff is mainly being pushed by Crossan
 who could be quite wrong in his assumptions about Jesus' peasant status. It
 is highly unlikely that Jesus was illiterate as Crossan claims. It is more
 likely that he grew up in a middle class (sic) family with a construction
 business.

  They probably would have handed a container from hand to hand through the
  meal.  It would have probably been of metal, but it might just as well have
  been wood.  It would not have been ornate.

 It probably was ornate silver.

  It boggles the mind to try to
  picture Christ carrying about an ornate, probably gold, gm encrusted
  "chalice" to spice up the simple meals that He and His disciples would have
  shared.

 A Passover Seder is not a simple meal. It is an elaborate affair with the
 family's best dishes. As for golden and jewel encrusted, that would depend at
 whose place he was copping a meal. More likely it is Christian legend depicting
 the elegance of royalty as befits the King of Kings.

  I lived in the Middle East, and even the "Upper Room" is still a
  common phenomenum in restaurants there.  It is a place for groups or large
  families to use.  In the grandness that has become the hallmark of most of
  our Christian faiths, the simplicity of the life Christ chose to live seems
  to have been lost.  Prudy

Might I also suggest the beautiful and talented Acharya S's book THE CHRIST
