Eucharist | This means ‘Thanksgiving’ - Sharing the bread and wine - Christians give thanks for the death and resurrection of Jesus and for their relationship with God which has been made possible by Jesus’ sacrifice |
Holy Communion | The word ‘communion’ means to take part in something as a group or family (fellowship), in this case the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus using bread and wine. - This title is used amongst Anglicans and the Free-Churches |
Mass | This title is used by Roman Catholics - The people receive the Body and Blood of Christ and then go out into the world and live the Christian message. A Mass is separated into two parts; The Liturgy of the Word and The Liturgy of the Eucharist. |
Divine Liturgy | This title is used by the Orthodox Church for the Eucharist. |
Breaking of Bread | An alternative name for Holy Communion - Also a name for the shared meal - Some Christians use this term. |
Lord’s supper | Baptists prefer to use this title - In the same way as the Disciples shared Jesus’ Last Supper, Christians today can share in the same meal in the spiritual presence of Jesus |
Transubstantiation | This is the Roman Catholic belief that the bread and wine actually become the real presence of Christ (His Body and Blood) |
Consubstantiation | This is the belief that the bread and wine symbolise the body and blood of Christ and as a result Jesus is spiritually present at this time |
