Jesus indicated that what we call communion, or the eucharist, is to be a "remembrance."

You wouldn't highlight that word if you knew the full meaning of the underlying Greek word.

Hi SD!

You could at least enlighten me with the Greek. As we both know, there are several Greek words used for remembrance. The one used in the subject passages has the meaning of recollection, remind, recall and bring to mind. My point is that historically the Jews place a different meaning that goes deeper than a simple recollection, it is actually an identification with what happened. Hence the significance of the remembrance of the Jewish holocaust, because in their view, they were actually there participating in that horror.

I know it and I would because I know it gives you no help.
