It refers to a central theme in Christian theology, especially concerning the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His disciples. This event is recorded in the Gospels and is foundational to the Christian Eucharist or Holy Communion. Jesus, on the night before His crucifixion, establishes the New Covenant between God and humanity through His sacrifice and the shedding of His blood.
Biblical Passage: Matthew 26:26-28 (KJV)
"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
In this passage, Jesus introduces the concept of the New Covenant, symbolized by the bread (His body) and wine (His blood), marking a new relationship between God and humankind, based not on the old law but on the sacrifice of Christ.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Salvador Dalí’s surrealist depiction would center on the cosmic significance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the eternal nature of the New Covenant. Using symbolic imagery of light, fluid forms, and transformation, Dalí would convey the life-giving power of Christ’s blood, which transcends time and space. His interpretation would blend elements of suffering and redemption, capturing the spiritual essence of the New Covenant that offers forgiveness and new life to all believers.
