Read about the Last Supper in the New Testament. See Matthew 26:26-28.

Read Frazier's "The Golden Bough," sections on "Eating the God," for the pre-Christian antecedants of the practice. It's one of the oldest ideas in religion, and practically universal. You kill the god or the representative of the god and eat him in order to share in his power.
