Go to the Supper with joy, my friend. Go to the Supper that does not end.
Just go to Mass and you will see the Lamb throw open His arms for thee.
The Supper of the Lamb once again brings together bestselling authors Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman, this time to introduce children of all ages to the biblical roots of the Mass. With edifying illustrations from artist Tricia Dugat, The Supper of the Lamb draws from the Book of Revelation as it slowly unveils the layers of meaning in the Mass.
Children of all ages will begin to see how God’s plan, from creation to the Incarnation, leads to the Mass—and that they, too, are invited to partake in the Lamb’s Supper where heaven and earth meet

What People Are Saying
Reviews
Anything recommended by Elizabeth Busby I will buy. The team up of my dreams, thank you for choosing her. Cannot wait to give these to my two girls to (hopefully) keep them gently, reverently occupied during church.
This book is positively stunning. I read The Lamb's Supper a decade ago, and it had a powerful, lasting impact on me and my faith. The care and love with which that text has been translated into a picture book (for adults, we can call this a coffee table book, if that helps) is breath-taking. I will read this to my kids, but I will likely also read through it on my own as a means of spiritual reading and praying with a text. An essential book for any Catholic home.
I enjoy all of Emily Stimpson Chapman’s work so when I read that this book was available for preorder, it was an easy decision. My eldest son opened it for Christmas and we read this beautiful book, which gave me goosebumps. What beautiful imagery and illustrations this book contains! Highly recommend!
