Jesus and his disciples ate a Passover meal together before Jesus’ Passion and Death. Jesus’ final Passover meal with his friends is known as the Last Supper and is recounted in all four Synoptic Gospels.
In Luke’s Gospel, we hear Jesus’ words: ‘Do this in memory of me’. In the Gospel of John, we see Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. Jesus says: ‘So, if I your Lord and teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.’ (John 13:14).
Church Tradition teaches how the Eucharist began at the Last Supper and how the early community obeyed Jesus' command to ‘break bread’ in his name (Acts 2:42). This memorial of the Last Supper became a central ritual for Christians when they gathered together. In the earliest times, the Eucharist was celebrated along with a shared meal in the homes of local Christians.
In his First Letter to the Corinthians, Paul describes a Eucharist celebrated in connection with a common supper shared in the homes of the early Christians.
This supper included the blessing of the bread and wine, the breaking of the bread, and communion. As the numbers of Christians grew, the Eucharist as a sacred meal separated from the common meal.
Believers today still remember and celebrate the Last Supper on Holy Thursday. For Jews, this time is the beginning of the Jewish Passover Festival. The bread and wine are symbols of nourishment and food for the Christian journey. Believers take part in the Eucharist to give thanks to God, and share this meal as a community. In community believers gain strength from everyone who has gathered.
