The transfer of the eucharist is done on Hold Thursday to a tabernacle in another location to represent ChristÕs time in the tomb after his crucifixion. Transferring the Blessed Sacrament is a way of guarding the consecrated hosts for Good Friday.

The true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is really and substantially present under the appearances of bread and wine, in order to offer himself in the sacrifice of the Mass and to be received as spiritual food in Holy Communion.
