Eucharist
Eucharist comes from the Greek, meaning giving thanks. Other names for the Eucharist include: the Holy Gifts, Communion, and the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Orthodox Christians believe that the Real Presence of God (not merely a symbol) is present after the consecration of the Gifts.
