The '''Eucharist''' (or '''Holy Communion''' or '''The Lord's Supper''') refers to the memorial service that [[Christian]]s perform in fulfillment of [[Jesus]]' instructions at his [[Last Supper]] recorded in the [[New Testament]]. On the night before he was crucified, Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying "This is my body" and wine, saying "This is my blood". '''Holy Communion''' is the re-enactment of that event. Different Christian denominations view Holy Communion somewhat differently, with most Protestants believing that is symbolic only, whereas Roman Catholicism teaches that the bread and wine actually transforms and becomes the body and blood of Christ.
