The Eucharist is one of the fundamental parts of the Cult of Christianity, and through it the Last Supper of Jesus Christ is commemorated by the partaking of wine and bread and giving thanks for salvation. The Eucharist has greatly inspired visual arts due to its special and essential place in Christian life. The exhibition In that housel Thou art all runishly will present a variety of forms of Eucharistic worship as depicted in visual arts from the fourteenth to the twentieth century.
