Eucharist (Holy Communion)

The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, is a Christian sacrament commemorating Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with his disciples. It involves partaking of bread and wine, which symbolize his body and blood, representing his sacrifice for humanity's salvation. For many Christians, receiving the Eucharist is a sacred act of spiritual communion, fostering unity with Christ and the church community. It is a central element of worship that nurtures faith, reminds believers of Jesus’s teachings, and strengthens their connection to God’s grace. The meaning and significance can vary among denominations, but it universally celebrates Christ’s love and sacrifice.
