Christ’s last supper with his apostles marked their final meeting before his death. On this solemn occasion, he correctly predicted that one of them would betray him. Christ’s request that his followers would break bread and drink wine in “remembrance of me” became the basis of the Eucharist. While later Protestant faiths would differ, it remains a principle of Catholic beliefs that these substances miraculously change into Christ’s body and blood during this sacrament.
