We’re back with another #ThrowbackThursday!
This 10″ x 8″ black and white photograph features a wood carving by Anton Lang above the altar at the Immanuel Chapel at the Immanuel Deaconess Institute. The carving is a true copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” It was gifted to the Institute in 1926 and stretches over seven feet long and two feet high. In 1977, the carving was refinished and remains in the chapel of the Immanuel Fontenelle Home.
