The "ritual" as you called it was acted out by Jesus himself. This was carried out by the Apostles themselves who taught their designated successors the meaning of the holy Eucharist and how to prepare it. Some Greeks a few centuries later did not make this up as some Protestants like to think. The strength of Orthodoxy is it goes back right to Jesus and his Apostles DIRECTLY.

Right. Now, it is critical to understand from Scripture exactly why Jesus (God eternal come in the flesh, "Before Abraham, I AM," and initiator of our salvation) told us to engage in this practice.
