The Eucharist, also known as the Holy Communion, is a central rite in Christianity where believers partake in consecrated bread and wine, symbolizing the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This sacrament commemorates the Last Supper, where Jesus instructed his disciples to remember him through this act of sharing. In many Christian denominations, the Eucharist is seen as a means of grace and spiritual nourishment. It fosters a sense of community among participants, reflecting the unity of the Church. The frequency and manner of its celebration can vary widely among different traditions, from weekly services to special occasions.
