There are two major symbols related to the Eucharist, these are: 1. Wine: – Otherwise known as the “fruit of vines” the wine in the Eucharist is used to symbolise the blood of Christ. 2. Bread: – Otherwise known as the “Host” is used to symbolise the body of Christ during the Eucharist. No matter how many people there are attending the Mass both the Body and the Blood of Christ (the Bread and the Wine) are carried up in a single plate and chalice. This represents the unity of the members attending and the unity of the Church.
