Holy Eucharist
The Eucharist stands at the very heart of the life, worship and mission of the Christian Church. Under various names – Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist – this central action of the Christian community is celebrated by Anglicans week by week and day by day. In the Eucharist we commemorate the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ by receiving the blessed sacrament.
