Mystical (last) Supper in the Upper Room sharing the Passover meal with the Twelve was when Jesus gave a radically new meaning to the food and drink of the sacred meal. He identified Himself with the bread and wine: "Take, eat; this is my Body. Drink of it all of you; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant" (Matthew 26:26-28).

Orthodox Christians have come to understand that this was the institution of the Eucharist: whereby earthly food  bread and wine becomes our gift of life, the Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is the center of life in the Orthodox Church. We participate in this event each time we have a Divine Liturgy. We share as Christ told to his disciples in His Blood and Body. It is a participation in union with Him.
