The Eucharist or communion is a time to remember the death of Christ as the saviour of the world.
The bread is a symbol of Christ's body. God provided for the nation of Israel when they wandered in the wilderness by giving them bread from heaven to eat. In a similar manner Jesus is sent from God as the bread of life. Those who come to Him find enough in Him to satisfy their spiritual hunger forever.
John 6:35 And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
The wine represents Christ's blood which he shed as the 'lamb of God', a sacrifice for sin.
Mat 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

the use of the bread and wine as the Eucharist is because when Jesus instituted the sacrament at the Last Supper, He used the bread and wine as it was a Passover meal or Seder that Christ and his disciples celebrated. Jesus also referred Himself as the Bread of life in the sixth chapter in the Gospel of John. both unleavened bread and wine are common elements of the Passover Seder. whenever bread and wine are shown together in Christian art, it is the portrayal of the Eucharist. Also from the Catholic point of view, the Eucharist is not symbolic, at all. the Eucharist is the truly actual Body and Blood of Christ; it does not symbolize Him or represent Him; the Eucharist is Him.
