(Holy Communion) Christianity: sharing of bread and wine to remember Jesus' death (also called Eucharist)editor's notes: The sacrament is based on Biblical descriptions of Jesus' last supper. Here is an example from Luke 22:19-20 in the New International Version of the Bible:

In 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.' "
