The Church teaches that the sacrifice is not a mere figure or symbol but a true sacrifice. It is not the bread that is sacrificed, but the very Body of Christ. And, the Lamb of God was sacrificed only once, for all time. The sacrifice at the Eucharist consists, not in the real and bloody immolation of the Lamb, but in the transformation of the bread into the sacrificed Lamb.
All the events of Christ’s Christ's sacrifice, the [[Incarnation]], the Last Supper, the [[Crucifixion]], the [[Resurrection]], and the [[Ascension]] are not repeated in the Eucharist, but they are made present.
