Sacrament

Eucharist

The sacrament of the Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, is a central and sacred ritual in the Catholic Church. It is considered one of the seven sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ himself. The Eucharist is based on the accounts of the Last Supper, where Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples before his crucifixion. Catholics believe that during this meal, Jesus instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist by transforming the bread and wine into his body and blood.
