The origin of communion derived from the last supper that Jesus shared with his disciples the night before he was crucified. At that supper Jesus offered to his disciple’s bread and wine, which signified his body and his blood. The disciples ate the bread and drank the wine as a remembrance of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made for his followers. Today, communion is practiced throughout Christianity as not only a remembrance of Jesus Christ, but as a celebration of our faith and love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As the celebration continues today, churches still break bread and pour individual cups of wine, juice, or share a chalice to serve to their designated congregation to carry on the tradition of communion.
