 =====Lutheranism=====
-Lutherans typically believe in the theology called ''consubstantiation''.  Consubstantiation is the belief that when the bread and wine are consecrated, the bread and wine remain but Jesus' body and blood are also literally present.  This is contrasted with the Catholic/Orthodox belief, where the substances of bread and wine cease to exist entirely, and only Christ's body and blood are present after the consecration.  This also contrasts with the mainline Protestant view, which holds that Jesus is not present in a special sense at all during Holy Communion - the bread and wine are pure symbols only.

+====Catholicism/Eastern Orthodoxy/Oriental Orthodoxy====
-In Roman Catholic teaching the scripture passages regarding the last supper are understood literally. Catholics typically call Holy Communion "the Eucharist". The official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church is that when the priest consecrates the Eucharist, bread and wine [[Metaphysics|metaphysically]] (i.e. not in a physical, material sense) become Jesus' body and blood, a teaching known as [[transubstantiation]].

The official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church is that when the bishop or priest consecrates the Eucharist, the bread and wine  become Jesus' body and blood in their very being ("substance"), while their scientifically-testable physical properties ("accidents") remain the same.  This teaching is known as [[transubstantiation]], because the substances of the bread and wine are transformed.  The eastern Churches (Eastern, Oriental, and Assyrian Orthodox) also teach this - Eastern Orthodox refer to it not as transubstantiation, however, but as ''metousiosis''.
-====Protestant====
+=====Lutheranism=====
-Most Protestants believe Holy Communion to be symbolic.  In other words, they do not hold to the Catholic belief of transubstantiation or the Lutheran belief of consubstantiation but instead believe that the cracker and the juice or wine is merely symbolic of Jesus' body and blood.
