Before the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, he held a passover service, commonly called the "Last Supper". In the middle of dinner he raised a piece of bread saying "This is my body broken for you," And then he held a cup of wine saying "This is my blood, spilled for the forgiveness of your sins. Do this in remembrance of me".

Thus the bread and wine (or representatives there of) of communion.
