| abstract | - The Eucharist or Communion or The Lord's Supper, is the rite that Christians perform in fulfillment of Jesus' instruction, recorded in the New Testament, to do in memory of him what he did at his Last Supper. Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying "This is my body," and wine, saying "This is my blood." Christians generally recognize a special presence of Christ in this rite, though they differ about exactly how, where, and when Christ is present. The word "Eucharist" is also applied to the bread and wine consecrated in the course of the rite. The word "Eucharist" comes from the Greek noun εὐχαριστία (thanksgiving) [1]. This noun or the corresponding verb εὐχαριστῶ (to give thanks) is found in 55 verses of the New Testament. (Εὐχαριστέω, the uncontracted form, given in some aids for students, is not used in the New Testament.) Four of these verses (Matthew 26:27, Mark 14:23, Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:24) recount that Jesus "gave thanks" before presenting to his followers the bread and the wine that he declared to be his body and his blood. Most Christians classify the Eucharist as a sacrament, but many Protestant traditions avoid the term sacrament, preferring ordinance. In these traditions, the ceremony is seen not as a specific channel of divine grace but as an expression of faith and obedience of the Christian community.

The consecration of bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is my blood.". There are different interpretations of the significance of the Eucharist, but "there is more of a consensus among Christians about the meaning of the Eucharist than would appear from the confessional debates over the sacramental presence, the effects of the Eucharist, and the proper auspices under which it may be celebrated." The phrase "the Eucharist" may refer not only to the rite but also to the bread and wine (or, in some Protestant denominations morally opposed to the consumption of alcohol, unfermented grape juice) used in the rite, and, in this sense, communicants may speak of "receiving the Eucharist", as well as "celebrating the Eucharist".

Image:Jesus Award.jpg J.C., being the fun loving, sexy guy he was decided to come up with a crazy ritual and see if the masses of people would repeat it until it had become a standard in their worship of him 2000 years later while at the food court in the mall. He initiated the ritual by taking some of the leftover special bread. He took the bread and accidentally broke it, figuring this might hold some symbolism, he said the famous words, Now I really am not one to tell stories, but remember that one time Peter was so drunk we got him to have sex with that camel, yeah this is kinda like that. Afterwards, he grasped his cup firmly, but than realized that they were Mary Magdalene's so, after a reaffirming purple nurple, he snatched the chalice conveniently called the Holy Grail. Now he recited another famous line, Hey guys, you want to see me do a triple thunder kick, alright here I go, oh shit, I'm bleeding, well, put it in the chalice. He decided this was a lot better, so he used the blood instead. Just as J.C. predicted, his cult did follow up on the cannibalistic ritual, extending it so far as to claim the bread was part of his body.
