English: Detail of the The Last Supper by en:Leonardo da Vinci. As explained by Leigh Teabing to Sophie Neveu, the figure at the right hand of en:Jesus is supposedly not the apostle John, but en:Mary Magdalene, who was his wife and pregnant with his child. The absence of a chalice in the painting supposedly indicates that Da Vinci knew that Mary Magdalene was actually the en:Holy Grail (the bearer of Jesus' blood). This is reinforced by the letter "M" that is created with the bodily positions of Jesus, Mary, and the male apostle (en:Saint Peter) upon whom she is leaning. en:Saint Peter is also positioned with the blade of his hand next to Mary Magdalene's throat in a threatening gesture. This is supposedly because Peter is jealous of Jesus' greater love for en:Mary Magdalene than for his disciples.

Mary Magdalene and Jesus also create a 'v' shape - the female symbol, for feminity, womanhood and fertility. They are also mirror images of each other - Jesus in red robe and blue cloak, Mary Magdalene in a blue robe and red cloak. I lel.
