well in a catholic church the eucharist is about Jesus Christ. we take the bread and wine to the priest and the priest is actually Jesus but in priest form and the priest (Jesus) converts the bread and wine into the body and blood of christ. when we take the body and blood, we are receiving the eucharist. eucharist has an H in it btw
In the Eucharist, unleavened bread is used to represent the body of Christ, and wine (or unfermented grape juice) represents His blood.
One could argue Baptism, but it should be understood the Eucharist is itself a sacrament often called the Blessed Sacrament , although all have divine Grace.

It was the last time that Jesus spoke with his disciples before the Crucifixion, and he showed them how to consecrate the Eucarist (sic). (by Lordcatz8)Actually, all he did was ask his disciples to remember what he was about to do. He took the bread and said, "Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me." The Catholics take that literally and say "hoc est enim corpus meum," (Latin for, "for this is my body.") which they believe turns the bread into the actual body of Christ.The rest of us see the broken bread as a representation of his broken body and remember what he did for us when we have communion.
