Eucharist (Communion)
Eucharist is sometimes commonly referred to as communion. It is a symbolic act performed by Christian religions. It involves taking in a small piece of consecrated bread to represent Christ's body, and a drink to represent Christ's blood. Traditionally, the drink was wine, but some Christian religions have adapted this to grape juice or water, depending on their beliefs.

Do Protestants get confirmed and receive Holy Communion.?
All Protestants celebrate the Lord's Supper (receive Holy Communion) although the frequency differs from denomination to denomination and church to church. Many Protestants (but not all) participate in "confirmation classes" and are confirmed, while others attend church membership classes and become just members by a public profession of their faith.
What is IHS on communion wafer?
In Hoc Signo (With this sign). It is derived from the Latin phrase, "In hoc signo, Vinces". Translated best, it means, "With this as your standard, you shall have victory". (The standard refers to a flag with a "chi" and "rho" cross on it.) The Latin phrase was derived from the original ancient Greek, "en toutoi, nika".
In legend, Emperor Constantine was said to have used this phrase when going into the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 A.D., against Maxentius. He supposedly saw the "chi" and "rho" Greek letters in the sky, at that time. The "chi" (X) and the "rho" (R) are the first two Greek letters in the name, "Christ" (In Greek, this would read as Xristos.) Constantine was the first ruler of the Roman Empire to adopt Christianity as the official state religion. He convened the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., ensuring that bishops throughout the Roman Empire would preach the same doctrine. It was at this council that the Nicene Creed was developed.
Nowadays, many Christians take objection to the IHS acronym, as it conjures up an image of Christ being used, as sort of a good luck charm, in preparation for military victory (as was the case with Constantine's victory over Maxentius in 312 A.D.). However, other Christians revere the IHS sign as a linking symbol to the time when Christianity was unified, doctrinally, geographically, politically, and societally.

In the Mass there is an exchange of gifts.we offer to God gifts of bread and wine at the Offertory, and Christ, into whom these gifts have been changed at the Consecration. God accepts our gifts and offers us a gift in return, Christ in Holy Communion. therefore, we should receive Communion every time we offer Mass. not to do so is to refuse God's gift after he has accepted ours.
