Nope! So Sorry.
What the roman church has turned in to a ritual was SUPPOSED TO BE only a commemorative event.
Not in the Bible as anything like the catholic holy eucharist.

At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.” (Matthew, Chapter 26; Mark, Chapter 14; Luke, Chapter 22)
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through some miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where the priest, acting in place of Christ, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
With love in Christ.

The Eucharist is a sympolization of Jesus' last supper with his Apostles. That act is honored and celebrated with the Eucharist at Mass. I do not think that celebrating the Holy Eucharist is actually commanded in the bible.

John 6:33.34.35.47.48.51.53.54.55.56.58.57(The New Testament)and Matew 26:26,27,28
Isn't commemorative, "Is Jesus Eternal Life" .
Believers try to live an Christian life,but they don't can every time to do this and after we get The Holy Eucharisty ,we feel in our soul the Peace,Love ,Patience,Tolerance, all there are The Life of Jesus(we can't be so good with our force).We need often to get The Holy Eucharisty,to change the world in good. My soul was craying when i see in other countrys , that they take away The Saint Eucharisty in the church and i cry for that today too,we musn't take out Jesus.
We need The Saint Eucharisty often,without It we can't be good ,as Jesus told to us in The New Testament.

1 Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered unto you: that the Lord Jesus, during the night in which He was betrayed, took bread; 24 and having given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which has been broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
Communion is the New Testament equivalent of the Passover. Before Jesus came they were looking forward to the spotless lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. Now Christians look back and remember what Jesus did for us.
However, the teaching that people are actually eating Jesus' flesh and drinking his blood is a misinterpretation of the Bible. At the last supper Jesus didn't open a vein in his arm and make the disciples drink his blood. He was using symbolic language and the taking of communion symbolizes his sacrifice for us.

The foundations for the concept can be found in John 6. It covers a major part of the chapter. But it was actually instituted during the Last Supper.

Read 1 Corinthians 11... this is the Lord Supper
The Gospels also record the Last Supper with the Disciples before His death...

Yes and no, It is somewhat in the last supper where Jesus breaks the bread and forms the new conveneant. But it is somewhat hidden and i see your point. I'm not sure what chapter and verse.

It most certainly is. Jesus had holy communion with his twelve disciples the night before He was crucified, in what is called "the upper room."
