I don't know. But it was almost certainly a Jewish holiday meal considering
that the city was full of pilgrims. All the holidays and every sabbath has
Jews making a prayer over wine and bread ( sound familiar?). Holiday and
sabbath meals are special occasions requiring that people set out the finest
settings and utensils they are capable of. Every household probably had a
silver cup for the ' kiddush'.

Only an idiot would take a vow of poverty. This is not a Jewish concept, so
it is likely that it's not true about Jesus and his followers. Jews are
encouraged towards act of charity for the poor. Not to be poor. The Jesus
movement were known as " The Poor." meaning the oppressed.

Yes there is. If it were true. I doubt that the NT version is true.
