blood of Christ
Sacramental red drink
The blood of Christ refers in Christian theology to the blood Jesus shed during his crucifixion, understood as the sacrifice that redeems humanity from sin.
The phrase appears in communion rituals where wine represents this blood: This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
By extension, it invokes divine sacrifice or salvation: washed in the blood of Christ.
