communion
Sharing souls silently
Communion is intimate sharing or exchange, especially of thoughts or feelings.
It suggests deep connection: a moment of communion with nature, communion between old friends.
In Christianity, Communion (often capitalized) is the sacrament commemorating the Last Supper, in which bread and wine are consumed—also called the Eucharist or the Lord's Supper.
A communion of people is a group united by shared beliefs.
