The Passover, which the Jews celebrated, was also an act of remembrance.

They were not reliving the actual slaying of the firstborn by the death angel every year it was celebrated.

Nor did they eat the blood of the sacrifice. It was put on the door posts of the house so that when the angel of death saw the blood he would pass over them.

That is symbolic of God seeing the blood of Christ covering us and that makes it symbolic, foreshadowing salvation by faith in Christ.

But the blood was NOT to be consumed and never was in Scripture, a command of God given even before the Law was put into place.

Again, all you are citing is the OT.

What about the NT, the Apostolic Fathers, and the sub-Apostolic Fathers?

There, you find deacons, priests, bishops, and the Mass.

If these things were all gross distortions of the teaching of Jesus, then his promise to remain with the Church and preserve the Church from error was shot to hell in two generations.
