The bread and wine are a physical reminder to the Christian of the actual body and blood of Jesus which was both broken (the body) and shed (the blood) for them. Since the reminder relates to the savior, who is precious to all Christians, this meal has great value. It is usually a solemn remembrance since it was begun by Jesus 'on the night He was betrayed.' This brings time for thought on why He had to die as well as thankfulness that He went through such terrible agony on our behalf.
