Why wasn’t Mary with Her Son at the Last Supper? Practically, shouldn’t His Mother be with Her only Son on a high holy day (and it was a high holy day, right, not the day before)? Does Tradition say where She was that night? If She was having the Memorial Meal with other family?

there is nothing in the bible that says she wasn’t. Passover tradition is that families wives and children and friends share the Passover together- but the focus of the Gospel writers would be on the apostles and their relationship with their Lord. Just because they are not listed in the Bible Doesn’t mean those folks weren’t there- it is more likely they would have been or else they wouldn’t have needed a big space like the Upper Room.👍

The Last Supper was not the Passover meal - it was only the day before Passover.

Jesus is the Lamb that was sacrificed for Passover the next day.
