That said, we believe that the Savior instituted the sacrament to replace the Passover. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints partake of the sacrament every Sunday during sacrament meeting.

Elder Howard W. Hunter (who later became the 14th president of the Church) taught that at the Passover meal that is now known as the Last Supper, “the bread and wine [we now use bread and water], rather than the animals and herbs, [became] emblems of the great Lamb’s body and blood, emblems to be eaten and drunk reverently and in remembrance of him forever.

“In this simple but impressive manner the Savior instituted the ordinance now known as the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. With the suffering of Gethsemane, the sacrifice of Calvary, and the resurrection from a garden tomb, Jesus fulfilled the ancient law and ushered in a new dispensation based on a higher, holier understanding of the law of sacrifice. No more would men be required to offer the firstborn lamb from their flock, because the Firstborn of God had come to offer himself as an ‘infinite and eternal sacrifice’ ” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1985, 22; or Ensign, May 1985, 19).
