Practices associated with HC (Mass)

• In the Eucharistic prayer, the bread and wine are consecrated; certain ritual actions are performed as the account of the Last Supper from 1 Corinthians is repeated
• After the Lord's Prayer, the sharing of the peace (shaking hands with one another) and the ritual breaking of the bread (known as the Fraction), Catholics go to the priest to receive communion. They always receive the bread, but not always the wine. The priest consumes any remaining consecrated elements rather than throwing them away
• What is the sharing of the peace?

  Shaking hands with one another
• What is the Fraction

  The ritual breaking of the bread
• The Mass ends with a blessing from the priest and the words 'Go forth, the Mass is ended'
