Holy Thursday – Last Supper – Who Set the Table?

Who Set The Table?

Were there women at The Last Supper?

If not, who set the table?

Who laid out the cutlery

The cups and plates?

Who made sure the bitter herbs

Were there as ancestral seasoning

Like the straw of painful memories

With the salted water and the spice?

And the dipped parsley of hope

With the cooked unblemished lamb

Making sure that all was kosher?

Who baked the unleavened bread?

The three matzot of race

Priests, Levites and Israelites

Bound in slavery, united in freedom

And what about the hard-boiled grief-roasted egg?

And who served the wine?

Oh, and who did the wash-up? The lads?
