Lord's Supper

Bread and wine

The Lord's Supper is the Christian ritual commemorating Jesus's last meal with his disciples before his crucifixion, in which bread and wine represent his body and blood.

Different traditions call it Communion, the Eucharist, or the Lord's Supper, with varying beliefs about whether the elements are symbolic or literally transformed.

They celebrate the Lord's Supper every Sunday.
