In the Bible
The Mass or Eucharist is Christian rite which is a reenactment of the Last Supper. The Bible describes the first Mass:
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.[1]
In science
In common parlance, mass is weight, but in science, mass is a measurement of an object's inertia, or resistance to acceleration. It can also be describes as the degree to which an object bends space-time around it, according to the Theory of Relativity. One of the unsolved mysteries of physics is the origin of the rest-masses of the various particles is believed to be related to the Higgs boson, which is currently being sought in particle accelerators.
