The Eucharist is a symbolic meal when Christians eat the body of Jesus symbolized by bread and drink the blood of Jesus symbolised by wine. Didn't you always think cannibalism was wrong? Different Christian sects and denominations have different beliefs about exactly what happens during the Eucharist and in the past were prepared to kill and die for their particular version of the Mythology.
