Leonardo’s “’The Last Supper’ and the Passion of Christ could be texted on phones round the world, after Angela Palmer depicted the story of Holy Week and Easter in emoticons. A special exhibition for Holy Week at the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in Oxford uses the symbols to describe the events from Palm Sunday to the resurrection. When artist Angela Palmer had the idea of depicting Leonardo’s ‘The Last Supper’ in emoticons, she invited Brian Mountford to identify the emotions of the disciples.
