Best Answer

Within Christianity, a wide variety of positions have been taken on the true nature of 'communion' or the 'Eucharist,' that is, the bread and wine shared communally during the Christian worship service. In general terms, some have understood the bread and wine to be Christ's body and blood in some substantial sense, while others have considered that no change occurs to the bread and wine in their simply 'memorial' celebration. Various other positions have been taken in-between these two (the 'realist' and 'nominalist') positions.
