Yes, Christian churches often practice communion as a sacrament during their worship services.

It is an ancient tradition of the Christian Church not to celebrate the Eucharist or Mass Or Divine Liturgy on Good Friday. This tradition continues to be observed in virtually all Christian Churches, whether Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican or Protestant. But, virtually all Christian Churches have a prayer service on Good Friday, albeit a prayer service that does not include a complete Eucharist. Churches that practice Reservation of the Blessed Sacrament may distribute Holy Communion on Good Friday as part of the non - Eucharist Prayer Service. They use bread previously consecrated. Usually the previously - consecrated bread comes from the Holy Thursday Evening Eucharist commemorating the Last Supper. So it is quite possible to receive Holy Communion on Good Friday, but it is not possible to attend a Eucharist, Mass, or Divine Liturgy on Good Friday.

The five models of the church are: institutional, mystical communion, sacrament, herald, and servant. These models help to understand the different aspects and roles of the church in Christian theology and practice. Each model emphasizes a different dimension of the church's identity and mission.
In many Christian traditions, the priest is designated to administer communion due to the belief in the priest's role as a mediator between God and the congregation. This practice stems from the theological understanding of the Eucharist as a sacrament that requires a validly ordained minister to perform. The priest's consecration of the bread transforms it into the body of Christ, making their role essential in the communion process. Additionally, this practice emphasizes the sacredness of the ritual and maintains the order and structure within the worship service.

Yes, Anabaptists believed in communion, but their understanding and practice differed significantly from mainstream Christian traditions. They viewed it as a symbolic act of remembrance rather than a sacrament that confers grace, emphasizing the importance of a communal meal shared among believers. Anabaptists practiced "believers' baptism" and often celebrated communion infrequently, focusing on its meaning as a sign of faith and community rather than a means of salvation.
A sacrament is a Christian belief or practice to show an act or thing related to the deity. Buddhism has no deities, no sacraments and do not follow Christian practices.
