Commemorative activities:
The commemoration ceremony of Good Friday is called the Eucharist of Mass by Catholicism and Eucharist by Anglican Church. This ceremony originated from the "Last Supper" that Jesus and his disciples ate together. Believers commemorate Jesus Christ and his words and deeds through this ceremony. Different sects have different understandings and details of the Eucharist. Catholicism and Orthodoxy regard the bread and Eucharist etiquette after consecration as the real existence of Jesus, and believe that eating the bread and wine below will be integrated with Jesus, so they need to repent and be forgiven before accepting the Eucharist.
After Martin Luther split from Catholicism, some Protestant sects even canceled the Eucharist. However, some people think that taking part in Eucharist etiquette can enhance and strengthen the relationship between believers and Christ. The Eucharist of the Orthodox Church uses bread made of flour, while the Catholic Church uses unleavened bread. Most Protestant sects change wine into grape juice. Some sects require that believers who receive the Eucharist must be confirmed. In addition, Catholicism also has activities such as worshipping the bitter image and worshipping the bitter road again.
