Jesus and the disciples sang together one or more of the Hallel Psalms (Psalms 111 – 118). Jesus, taking a loaf of bread, gave thanks to God. As He broke it and gave it to them, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you.” In the same way He took the cup, and when He had supped and gave the cup to them, they drank of it. He said, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this whenever you drink of it in remembrance of Me.” He concluded the feast by singing a hymn and they went out into the night to the Mount of Olives. It was there that Jesus was betrayed, as predicted, by Judas. The following day He was crucified.
The accounts of the Lord’s Supper are found in the Gospels in Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:17-25, Luke 22:7-22, and John 13:21-30.

In the Holy Eucharist.
"Do this, in remembrance of me"
All four gospels give the same account, and in Luke 22.19, Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of me.”
But note that the Greek word "anamnesis", weakly translated as "remembrance", means MUCH more than a mere "remembering". It is a calling forth through time, space and dimension to make really and truly present in the hear and now.

Whenever the Mass is celebrated. During the consecration of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, in the Eucharistic Prayer Christ said, "do this in memory of me".

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks (εá½ÏαÏιÏÏήÏÎ±Ï – eucharistÄsas), he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Yes - in the celebration of the Passover (the whole thing, not just a portion) - Luke 22:19 - 1 Cor 11:24-25.
In a sense, He was telling them, "Each time you eat this bread and drink this cup, do it in memory, not only of how God delivered you from bondage to slavery in Egypt, but in remembrance of me and how I shall deliver you from bondage to sin and death."
It is the totality of Who He is - why He came - what He did and what He will do that we are called to "remember" through the celebration of the feast God created for that purpose.
EDIT:
I thought about this for a minute after I posted my response and wanted to clarify a couple things. It's not only the Passover that we are called to celebrate "in remembrance."
I'm copying and pasting this from a study I wrote on the subject, so the "voice" is a bit more formal:
Passover is the first of the seven feasts, each one just as rich in meaning. As Passover provides us with a broad view of the person, the plans and the purposes of Messiah, each of the remaining festivals gives us a close-up view that speaks to a specific event in His life and ministry. Passover speaks of redemption—His sacrifice and our salvation. Unleavened Bread speaks of His burial and our sanctification and First Fruits, of His resurrection and our glorification. The Feasts of Weeks speaks of the giving of the Law, both externally and internally, through the indwelling of the Spirit and therefore, to the illumination of His people. The Feasts of Trumpets speaks to the “catching up” of His people and calls them to live a life of preparedness. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, speaks to the time when “all Israel will be saved” and reminds us that we are a corporate people, connected across time and space and hold a great responsibility for one another. The culminating festival, Tabernacles, speaks to the time when we shall live as one with Yeshua, our Savior and our God and reminds us that what we see and experience in this life is temporary, but what to come is eternal. These holy days are not ancient relics or antiquated rituals. They are not only reminders of God’s faithfulness in the past, for each feast and festival, each custom and tradition, draws our attention to the present redemption in Messiah and the future glory of the Kingdom of God.

tebone has it right.
I Cr 13;8a
1Cr 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1Cr 11:25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.

People will tell you different things but the Bible states that he did not want to be treated like a god because he knew he was just a man, a prophet at most. Don't know how that got twisted into a religion that treats him higher then a creator but oh well.

As broken bread and poured out wine.
Luke 22:19 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
