After a priest consecrates the bread and wine, then it is distributed to the people. First, the priest gives the bread. The parisioners wait. Then, the priest comes with the chalice and people either sip wine from the chalice or dip their bread into the wine. In between people sipping from the chalice, the priest wipes the lip of the chalice where the last person sipped. Some people believe it is more sanitary to dip the bread into the wine (rather than sipping from the cup after someone else).

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church), Sacrament is an ordinance performed during the main Sunday Worship Service (which is often called Sacrament Meeting.) The Sacrament is similar to Communion or the Lord's Supper. A priest will bless bread and water, which is then passed to the congregation by deacons.
