Communion is the practice of the Christian religion to come together during the day of worship and figuratively become as one with Jesus Christ. Communion is also generally a practice of partaking the bread and wine as a symbol of the body and blood of Christ.



The way Sunday Communion is practiced by Catholics, most of the time, is to form a line in between the pews on the center aisle waiting their turn to get to the priest. The priest then dip the communion bread known as "Host" into the cup or "chalice" of "wine" chalice and feed the member by his hand, or give the member the bread if the member approaches the priest with his/her palm up. They also recognize the Holy Communion as the Eucharist.

For other religious sects like the Evangelicals such as the Born Again Christians, or even the Protestants, commemorates Sunday Communion in a different manner. On most Born Again Christian Churches, the Pastor or the church workers distribute the bread and wine (which is not really wine but grape juice) that is placed in small steel cups. The members then break a very little piece from the bread and get one cup of the wine and together eat the bread and drink the wine simultaneously.

For the Latter Day Saints movement, Sunday Communion, often times is practiced similarly as that of Protestants and other Evangelical movements. Fermented wine is also used by some Mormons, especially the ones in the earlier practices.

Even though different Christian denominations have their own way of doing and celebrating Sunday Communion, the concept of eating bread and wine is because of what Christ has taught and done. Sunday Communion began during the Last Supper when Jesus said to His apostles, "Take this bread. It is my body."-- "Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me." This signified that the Apostles have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and cleansed their sins with His blood.
