Answer: Some Lutherans believe that Christ remains present in the Eucharist so long as the assembly is gathered. In other words, once the congregation has left, Christ is no longer present in the consecrated bread and wine. Other (more traditional, Catholic-leaning) Lutherans believe that Christ remains present after the congregation leaves and even reserve the Eucharist (as do Catholics and Orthodox) to be taken to those who are homebound. Catholics believe that Christ is present when the congregation leaves, and the Eucharist is treated with great reverence. The Catholic Church teaches that the presence of Christ remains so long as the consecrated bread remains bread; once it has deteriorated Christ is no longer present.

Which Christian denominations do not celebrate the Eucharist and why?
Only Catholics celebrate the Eucharist. Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present under the appearances of bread and wine. Other christian denominations may have a 'communion service' in which they reenact the Last supper, but they believe that the Eucharist is a symbol of Jesus, not truly Jesus Himself. As a Lutheran clergyman who celebrates the Eucharist every week, I was surprised to read the above answer. While there may be many different names for the Eucharist ('Holy Communion', 'The Lord's Supper', and so on) they are only names and they do not necessarily indicate the understanding of the particular denomination. Lutheran theology teaches 'the Real Presence' of Christ's body and blood - 'in, with, and under the bread and the wine. Rather than "Consubstantiation" or "Transubstantiation", Lutherans believe in a "sacramental union" - that is we eat both the bread and the flesh, we drink both wine and the blood. Like Roman Catholics, Lutherans certainly do not teach that the Eucharist is nothing more than a symbolic meal, but rather that it is the real reception of the body and blood of our Lord.
