What is the Christian practice of receiving bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus called?

• A. Baptism
• B. Confirmation
• C. Anointing
• D. Communion (the Eucharist)

Answer: (D)

This question is about the practice where Christians share bread and wine to remember Jesus. That act is called Communion, also known as the Eucharist. It goes back to the Last Supper, when Jesus told his followers to eat the bread and drink the cup in remembrance of him. The bread symbolizes his body and the wine his blood, and taking them together is a way for believers to participate in Jesus’ sacrifice and reaffirm their faith. The term Eucharist emphasizes giving thanks to God. Other rites like Baptism are about initiation, Confirmation strengthens faith, and Anointing uses oil for healing or blessing, but they do not describe the meal of bread and wine used to remember Jesus.
