The main symbolic action of the eucharist is the body and blood of Christ. When Jesus was about to die for the sins of the world he had one last meal with his disciples. The church has called it "The Last Supper". At this point Jesus want to teach the meaning of his death. Jesus took a type of bread use in that day and tore it in pieces and said this bread represents my body which will be torn and shredded for you. My body will be broken for your sakes. The cup of juice or wine was a symbol of Jesus' blood which would be spilt for your sake and mine. So the symbolic action of the eucharist is that Jesus was saying these elements represented his death on the cross for you and me.
I must add that we do not have a dead Saviour still in the grave. He rose from the dead which gives authority to his death. I know this is added information but Christ's death does not have meaning apart from his resurrection. By the way 100's of people saw him alive after he died.
