1- the Christian service, ceremony, or sacrament commemorating the Last Supper, in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed圣餐。
1.1
- the consecrated elements, especially the bread圣餐面包和酒（尤指圣餐面包）。
The bread and wine are referred to as the body and blood of Christ, though much theological controversy has focused on how substantially or symbolically this is to be interpreted. The service of worship is also called Holy Communion or (chiefly in the Protestant tradition) the Lord's Supper or (chiefly in the Catholic tradition) the Mass. See also CONSUBSTANTIATION, TRANSUBSTANTIATION.
