Eucharist

====Jehovah's Witnesses====
[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] commemorate Jesus' death annually on the evening that corresponds to the Passover,<ref>''Reasoning From The Scriptures'', Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, 1989, p. 265.</ref> [[Quartodeciman|Nisan 14]], according to the ancient [[Jewish calendar]].<ref>''Insight on the Scriptures'', Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, 1988, p. 392.</ref> They generally refer to the observance as "the Lord's Evening Meal" or the "Memorial of Christ's Death". They believe the event is the only annual religious observance commanded for Christians in the Bible.<ref>"Jehovah is a God of Covenants", ''The Watchtower'', 1 February 1998, p. 8, "Jesus instituted the only annual religious observance commanded for Christians—the Memorial of his death."</ref>

Of those who attend the Memorial, a small minority worldwide partake of the wine and unleavened bread. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only [[144,000#Jehovah's Witnesses|144,000]] people will go to heaven, to serve as under-priests and co-rulers with [[Christ the King]] in [[God's Kingdom]]. They are referred to as the "anointed" class. They believe that the baptized "[[other sheep]]" also benefit from the ransom sacrifice, and are respectful observers and viewers of the Lord's Supper, but they hope to obtain everlasting life in Paradise restored on earth.<ref name=jwbh>{{cite book|title=What Does the Bible Really Teach?|url=http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102005155|publisher=Watch Tower Society|page=207}}</ref>

The Memorial, held after sundown, includes a sermon on the meaning and importance of the celebration and gathering, and includes the circulation of unadulterated red wine and unleavened bread (matzo). Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the bread represents Jesus' perfect body which he gave on behalf of mankind, and that the wine represents his perfect blood which he shed to redeem fallen man from inherited sin and death. The wine and the bread (sometimes referred to as "emblems") are viewed as symbolic and commemorative; the Witnesses do not believe in [[transubstantiation]] or [[consubstantiation]].<ref name=jwbh /><ref>"Discerning What We Are – At Memorial Time", ''The Watchtower'', 15 February 1990, p. 16.</ref>
