But I’ve always wondered how they’ve managed to take a YEARLY rememberance meal and turn it into something that happens every time you enter the doors of their churches.

The Jewish Pentecost is yearly. The Eucharist is celebrated more frequently because it is the communion with our Lord and God whose Body and Blood we are commanded to eat and drink. John 6: gets into it pretty good.

is a verse dump with a long list of proofs from the OT, the Gospels and Paul. But for frequency, it leans upon 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.

Jesus was speaking to a group of JEWS who had gathered to celebrate a YEARLY ritual of rememberence.

I find no 'command' to do ANYTHING any differently.

First Corinthians 11:26

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
