The last supper, at which Jesus broke bread and drank wine with his disciples, is sometimes called the 'Memorial Feast' because Jesus asks us to continue celebrating this same symbolic feast of bread and wine among ourselves as the way of remembering him, his death and resurrection and his promised return. The apostle Paul writes:

"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
