It seems to me—a self professed novice and layman—that the Eucharist is more than symbolic. So, as far as I can tell (I could be wrong), the Gospel according to St. John is the only one of the four Biblical Gospels to not include the last supper. The other three Gospel accounts have Jesus saying that the bread and wine *are* his body and blood. He didn’t say like, or symbolic of. That’s an interpretation of intent. What the Gospel according to St. John *does* say, is that we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood to live. It was such a hard teaching, the scripture tells us, that many turned away from the Lord.
