We stopped at a shop where they sold beautiful olive wood carvings. This one, of the last supper, gives a good impression of how they would have laid down, and how the main guest is the second person on the left.
According to the Bible, John was the first (beginning from the left), and Judas the third; both were places of honour. Peter, as the foot-washer, was at the other end of the table.
