For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the sacrament, called Eucharist or Sacrament of the Lord's Supper by many Christian denominations, refers to the ordinance of partaking bread and water in remembrance of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. The broken bread represents his broken flesh; the water represents the blood that he shed to atone for our sins (1 Corinthians 11: 23-25; Doctrine and Covenants 27: 2). When Mormons worthily take the sacrament, i.e. repent of their sins, they promise to take upon them the name of Christ, to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. Through this ordinance, Church members renew their baptismal covenants.

  • For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the sacrament, called Eucharist or Sacrament of the Lord's Supper by many Christian denominations, refers to the ordinance of partaking bread and water in remembrance of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. The broken bread represents his broken flesh; the water represents the blood that he shed to atone for our sins (1 Corinthians 11: 23-25; Doctrine and Covenants 27: 2). When Mormons worthily take the sacrament, i.e. repent of their sins, they promise to take upon them the name of Christ, to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. Through this ordinance, Church members renew their baptismal covenants. Partaking of the sacrament is an ordinance that Jesus Christ initiated as a part of his Church during his earthly ministry. Matthew 26:26-28 tells how Christ administered this first sacrament: [A]nd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Latter-day Saints continue performing this same ordinance as a way to remember Christ and his gift. The sacrament is the most important part of Sabbath day worship for Mormons. It is a time when they focus on the Savior and renew their efforts to live his commandments. Each week, when Mormons gather for Sabbath day worship, the first thing they do is partake of the sacrament. The meeting during which the sacrament is passed is called "Sacrament Meeting."
