  The Eucharist holds immense importance in the Catholic faith and is considered one of the central sacraments of the Church. Rooted in the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples, the Eucharist is believed to be the true body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ under the appearances of bread and wine.
