The Eucharist is the rite that Christians perform in fulfillment of the instruction
that Jesus gave to do in his memory.
It is a sacramental or memorial reenactment of what he did at his Last Supper

Christian theology
The Eucharist has always been at the center of Christian worship, though theological
interpretations vary.
The Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions see the Eucharist as
the fulfillment of God's plan for the salvation of humanity from sin , the "Divine
Economy",
- The fact that Christianity did not begin among people who believed in or
practiced the rites of the mystery religions. The first Christians were either
Jews or "the God-fearing" Gentiles who attended Jewish synagogue services
but held back from becoming proselytes [cf. Acts 13:16, 13:26].
And, as can be seen, for instance, in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and Wisdom 13,
Jews of the time had a very negative attitude to forms of worship other than
Jewish.
Christianity was beginning to spread among people of whom some may possibly
have been adherents of mystery cults and may thus conceivably have attached
to the Eucharistic rite meanings not originally associated with it, the rite
did not originate among them. Instead, as indicated in these writings, which
are the earliest evidence about it, the Eucharist had already for a quarter
of a century been practiced as what has been called "a unique form of Table
fellowship" by which the earliest Christians, who were, all of them,
Jews, reenacted something that Jesus did at his last supper.
