Is the Eucharist called by other names too? The Eucharist is also called: The Lord’s Supper, The Wedding Feast of the Lamb, The Breaking of the Bread, The Eucharistic Assembly, Memorial, Holy Sacrifice, The Sacred and Divine Liturgy, The Most Blessed Sacrament, Holy Communion, The Bread of Angels, Bread from Heaven. The Lord’s Supper. Using this name we remember that Meal the Lord Jesus shared with his disciples on Holy Thursday, the evening before his Passion. This meal was the anticipation of the Wedding Feast of the Lamb in the heavenly Jerusalem, a symbol of paradise, the place the Lord has prepared for us: “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the the Lamb” (Ap 19,8). Paradise is the Heavenly Jerusalem; the Lamb, represented here is a symbol of Christ; the Church is the bride of the Lamb (shown here with solid walls, Angels and twelve gates, that remind us of the twelve tribes of Israel). 25
