communion (Christian sacrament)

Communion, also called the Eucharist, is a Christian sacrament commemorating Jesus Christ's Last Supper with his disciples. Participants eat bread and drink wine (or grape juice), symbolizing Christ's body and blood. It serves as a spiritual renewal, a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice, and a way for believers to unite with him and each other. Different Christian denominations view its significance differently—some see it as a symbolic memorial, others as a real presence of Christ. Overall, communion fosters reflection, community, and a shared commitment to Christian faith.
