Holy Communion (also known as the Eucharist, the Mass, or the Lord’s Supper), can take many different forms across the Church of England, and it may be understood by Christians in different ways. Holy Communion takes the form of a shared meal of bread and wine, recalling the fact that, at the Last Supper, Jesus associated the breaking of bread and sharing of wine with his own imminent death, giving them special significance. Each time we share the meal Jesus shared with his friends, we remember his offering of himself on the cross, we rejoice in his resurrection from the dead, and look forward to the coming of God’s Kingdom
