When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. In the First Epistle to the Corinthians Paul uses the term "Lord's Supper", in Greek Κυριακὸν δεῖπνον ( Kyriakon deipnon), in the early 50s of the 1st century: Latter-day Saints call it " the Sacrament". Other Protestant denominations rarely use this term, preferring "Communion", "the Lord's Supper", "Remembrance", or "the Breaking of Bread". Today, "the Eucharist" is the name still used by Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Lutherans. The term eucharistia (thanksgiving) is that by which the rite is referred to in the Didache (a late 1st or early 2nd century document), : 51 : 437 : 207 by Ignatius of Antioch (who died between 98 and 117) and by Justin Martyr ( First Apology written between 155 and 157).
As a result of these different understandings, "the Eucharist has been a central issue in the discussions and deliberations of the ecumenical movement." Anglican eucharistic theologies universally affirm the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, though Evangelical Anglicans believe that this is a spiritual presence, while Anglo-Catholics hold to a corporeal presence. Reformed Christians believe in a real spiritual presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Lutherans believe the true body and blood of Christ are really present "in, with, and under" the forms of the bread and wine ( sacramental union). The Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches agree that an objective change occurs of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. It maintains that by the consecration, the substances of the bread and wine actually become the substances of the body and blood of Jesus Christ ( transubstantiation) while the appearances or "accidents" of the bread and wine remain unaltered (e.g. The Catholic Church states that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ under the species of bread and wine. Christians generally recognize a special presence of Christ in this rite, though they differ about exactly how, where, and when Christ is present. The consecrated elements are the end product of the Eucharistic Prayer. The elements of the Eucharist, sacramental bread ( leavened or unleavened) and wine (or non-alcoholic grape juice in some Protestant traditions), are consecrated on an altar or a communion table and consumed thereafter. According to the Synoptic Gospels this was at a Passover meal.
Passages in the New Testament state that he commanded them to "do this in memory of me" while referring to the bread as "my body" and the cup of wine as "the blood of my covenant, which is poured out for many". Christians believe that the rite was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, the night before his crucifixion, giving his disciples bread and wine.
