'''Holy Communion''', also called '''The Lord's Supper''' or the [[Eucharist]], is an act of [[worship]] in [[Christian]] churches which re-enacts the Last Supper during which [[Jesus]] served bread and wine to his disciples on the night before he was crucified.  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."
