The Last Supper.

You mean the Catholic Aristotelian version thereof.

Read 1 Corinthians. Paul wrote that participaing in the Eucharist was participation in the Body and Blood of Christ.

Also, the Coptic Church, which split from the Great Church over The Council of Chalcedon, believes in the Real Presence.

The Orthodox Church, the Eastern, Greek half of the Great Church which went out of Communion with the Western Half, The Latin Catholic Church in 1054 AD also believes in Real Presence amongst the Eucharist.

The idea that Christ is fully present amongst the Eucharist was fully accepted in the Church long before the word “transubstantiation” was ever used to describe it in Aristotle’s language.
