\b0 After two thousand years, it is not easy to find the remains of the p
lace that was referred to as the Cenaculum. We know from the Christian historian Epiphanius that in 70 AD during the general destruction of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers under the command of Titus spared the little Church of God that was placed on the s
ite. However, in 614, the Persians destroyed everything, including a basilica that had been built on the site in the 4th century by the Byzantines. In the 12th century, the crusades rebuilt a church with three aisles which led to an upper chapel, which w
as identified as the place where the last supper was celebrated and the \b \cf4 \ATXht71914 Holy Spirit\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 descended upon the Apostles. Upon the return of the Moslems, the basilica was transformed into a mosque. The present-day site is a re
construction with two aisles divided by a row of three columns, constructed by Franciscans in the 14th Century.\par
