The Lord's Supper is also known as Communion or The Eucharist. It is one of two sacraments that almost all Christian churches have (the other is baptism). It is held in obedience to Jesus' command while at supper in an upper room with the disciples. By holding the Lord's Supper Christians proclaim the Lord's death until He comes again. Here is the earliest description of it that we have, from the First letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
"The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me'."
The various denominations differ in how they interpret Communion, but they all offer this rite.
