The Upper Room is associated with the word "cenacle". >The term "cenacle" refers to a small faith-sharing group, particularly in the context of the Roman Catholic Church. It is derived from the Latin word "coenaculum," meaning dining room, and is historically associated with the site where Jesus held the Last Supper with the apostles. The cenacle is also the location where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles on Pentecost, making it a significant site in Christian tradition. Since cenacle is associated with Jesus at the Last Supper, where Jesus was seen as teaching the Apostles how to consecrate the bread and wine, it follows that the Apostles at the Upper Room, during the 50 days preparation, had celebrated the First Holy Mass. The possibilities is high, as we know that during the consecration of the bread and wine, the Holy Spirit will come down to sanctify it, and so, the descent of the Holy Spirit at the Upper Room, is because of the First Celebration of the Holy Mass. And the Book of Acts described the Apostles as if they were drunk, correlating with drinking the wine, like in the Last Supper. **Is there a Catholic writings, pointing to the Upper Room, where the first celebration of the Holy Mass, and the Apostles or Apostle acting as the Bishop/Priest celebrant, was believed to occured?**
