Significance of repeating Jesus' words and actions from TLS

• In the Catholic Church, this is seen as highly symbolic
• Catholic Church:

  Jesus is referred to as the Paschal (Passover) Lamb: his death on the cross was a sacrifice to atone for humanity's sins
• Catholic Church:

  Like the Passover meal, Holy Communion celebrates deliverance from slavery, but freedom from the slavery of sin rather than from physical slavery
• Catholic Church:

  Jesus' death, celebrated in Holy Communion, achieved reconciliation between God and humanity
• In the Baptist Church, Holy Communion is just a simple meal to remember what Jesus said and did: symbolism is not important
