The Last Supper or Communion is supposed to be observed as a Memorial to our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself instructed his disciples to do this "in remembrance of Me". You can find this quote in the book of Luke , Chapter 22, verse 19. I must note that observing the Lords Supper is serious business and should be done in a totally respectful manner only to honor Christ Jesus. The Last Supper is important to Christians for what it commemorates - the suffering and death of their Lord and Saviour. Jesus began this practice 'on the night when He was betrayed,' in the shadow of the cross. In the same way Christians are to live in the shadow of their own personal cross and death to self just like their Master and Lord.

Why is the Last Supper important to Catholics?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Last Supper is important to Catholics and to the whole world, in that, it was at the Last Supper that Our Blessed Lord redeemed the world. The Last Supper was the "making present" of Our Blessed Lord's Passion, Death, and Resurrection to his apostles, and through the continuation of it in the Eucharist, to everyone of us throughout history. In the most sacred Eucharist, which was established with the Last Supper, Our Blessed Lord becomes physically present and remains, it is the greatest miracle that God has bestowed upon us, for which we should be grateful every moment of our lives.
