The Eucharist is the living remembrance of the Last Supper, when Jesus shared bread and wine with his Apostles the night before his death. In that sacred moment, He revealed how His presence would remain with us forever—through the breaking of the bread and the sharing of the cup, saying, "Do this in memory of me."
