For Christians, the act of taking Communion is a fulfillment and obedience to the words of Jesus when he said, "Do this in remembrance of me." − − Different denominations have different interpretations of the meaning of Communion. For [[Protestantism|Protestant]] churches the bread and wine have symbolic meaning, while the [[Catholic Church]] believes the bread and wine are literally transformed into the body and blood of Jesus during the Mass. (see [[transubstantiation]]) − − Some churches use [[wine]] in their Communion services, and some use [[grape]] juice. The [[Mormon]] church uses [[water]]. Churches also differ in the method of taking Communion, with some taking Communion in the pews, and others taking communion at the altar in the front of the church. − − [[Category:Christian Rites]]
