It is taking some time out your life to worship God. When we receive Holy Communion, we are partaking in a reenactment of Jesus' Last Supper and death. We are partaking in Jesus' death to be risen with him.
By tradition we think that it may have been Myrrh. Some say he was from Egypt and brought the gold. There were three gifts mentioned but it is not sure how many wise men there were. The gold honored Jesus as a king, the frankincense honored him as a god, and the myrrh foretold his untimely death.

Transubstantiation is a belief held by some Christian denominations that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine actually transform into the body and blood of Jesus Christ while retaining the appearance of bread and wine. The justification for transubstantiation comes from interpretations of passages in the Bible, particularly the Last Supper accounts in the Gospels, and teachings of early Church fathers such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. The belief is seen as a way to uphold the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Catholics and some other denominations believe that the Holy Eucharist is the actual body and blood of Christ. We believe in the real presence of Christ in theEucharist.Some other denominations believe that there is no real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.The Holy Eucharist is essentially a re-enaction of the Last Supper. Catholics re-enact it every Mass because we want to go to death with Christ to be risen up with him, it is a memorial of Christ's death. The death that Jesus willingly accepted so that we may be saved.When we receive the Holy Eucharist, we believe we receive Jesus himself when we take the Eucharist.19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him." 23They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.Luke 22:19-20
The doctrine of transubstantiation, accepted by some Christians, states that bread and wine are physically turned into the body and blood of Jesus at the eucharist, although to the senses they remain as before.
Passover celebrates the Israelites rejection of the Egyptian false gods and acceptance of HaShem (The Creator) and HaShem's redemption of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Eucharist is a Christian rite that is essentially is an expression of faith in Jesus. Some Christian sects believe that the body and blood of Jesus are present in the bread and wine they consume during this rite. There are absolutely no ties between Passover and Eucharist. In truth, the concept of Eucharist completely violates what Passover celebrates.
Answer: Some Lutherans believe that Christ remains present in the Eucharist so long as the assembly is gathered. In other words, once the congregation has left, Christ is no longer present in the consecrated bread and wine. Other (more traditional, Catholic-leaning) Lutherans believe that Christ remains present after the congregation leaves and even reserve the Eucharist (as do Catholics and Orthodox) to be taken to those who are homebound. Catholics believe that Christ is present when the congregation leaves, and the Eucharist is treated with great reverence. The Catholic Church teaches that the presence of Christ remains so long as the consecrated bread remains bread; once it has deteriorated Christ is no longer present.
There is no similarity whatsoever between Hanukkah and Eucharist. Eucharist is a Christian rite/sacrament, and Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Maccabean War.
Jesus is present under the appearance's of bread and wine. Jesus knew it would be hard for us to eat actual human flesh drink human blood. here is some information about the Eucharist and how Jesus is truly present (see below).Catholic AnswerThe Eucharist is Jesus: Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, through a miracle called transubstantiation. In other words, when Jesus pronounced the words, "This IS my Body" over the bread at the Last Supper, the entire substance of the bread ceased to exist, and the entire substance of Jesus' Body now exists there under the "accidents" (philosophy word to mean appearance) of the bread. Re-read the sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel closely, the entire thing, notice that it starts with Jesus feeding the five thousand, this is a "figure" of the Eucharist, then He walks on water to prove to His disciples that He is master over the elements, then He starts the discourse on the Eucharist, including answering the objections - over and over again - of the disbelieving Jews..When it comes right down to it, we really truly do not understand the "HOW", all we really know is that Jesus is God, and that He told us that this is His Body, and so if we are real Christians, we believe what He told us; and the Church has taught and believed this from the very beginning.
