Glossary

Eucharist/Holy Communion
1)     ‘Eucharist’ is the Greek word for ‘thanksgiving’. ‘Holy Communion’ is what Christians experience when they receive, under the sacramental form of bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ. This takes place at a service which recalls the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples.
