World Communion Sunday

World Communion Sunday invites Christians around the world to partake of the sacrament together. The process is important for the believers, because in this way they feel the honor of the church and recognize that Jesus Christ is its head. People unite, let joy and faith into their hearts, say thank you to the Lord for everything they have in life. Join the holiday and you!

History

Initially, the holiday did not take root – only a few thought about this day. Then the Second World War happened, people realized many spiritual things. World Communion Sunday was adopted in the USA, and since then the event has spread to all churches around the world. At the head of these events was the world leader, evangelist and ecumenist Jesse Moren Bader.

Communion has been celebrated differently in different cultures over the years. During the celebration, you may see bread, wine or grape juice. And here’s why: The Bible says that Jesus and his disciples shared the last meal before the crucifixion. The title is The Last Supper. Bread is a symbol of the body of Christ, wine is blood.
