“That is what the Lords Supper, or communion, is all about. To remember that Christ died for our sins.”
Actually, most Christians do not know the symbolism behind the cup from which Christ told His disciples to drink anyway. Research the Jewish betrothal ritual. You will find the symbolic meaning behind the cup at the Last Supper in that.

The bread and wine date to before there even were Jews.
It is the blessing that the MelekZedek bestowed upon Abraham. That is what is meant when it says the “he blessed it...”
“Blessed be Yehova Elohim, King of the Universe, who brings forth bread and wine from the Earth.”
