Eucharist, also known as the Lord's Supper or Communion, is when a church eats bread and wine in the memory of Jesus's Last Supper. He broke the bread and said it symbolizes His body, broken and torn because of our sin. The wine represents his blood, shed for us.

Ulrich Zwingli's main point of divergence from Martin Luther's ideas about Christianity centered on the understanding of the Eucharist. While Luther believed in the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine (consubstantiation), Zwingli viewed the Eucharist as a symbolic memorial, emphasizing that it was merely a representation of Christ's body and blood. This fundamental difference in interpretation of sacraments reflected their broader theological disagreements about the nature of faith and salvation.
