6. Are there other names for “The Lord’s Supper” used by Protestants?

Although the Lord’s Supper is the most common name for the communion service, other names include the table of the Lord, the breaking of bread, and the Eucharist (the Greek word eucharistia translates to “thanksgiving”), references the thanksgiving and blessing aspect of the service. The Lord’s Supper is not a contemporary Passover festival from the old covenant era but rather the Lord’s Supper replaces The Passover, while retaining many of its roots. The Passover met its fulfillment when Christ, the Lamb, gave up His life on Calvary. JTL26 8.1

The name “The Lord’s Supper” denotes the origin of the service. The ordinance is of central importance to all of Christendom, though it may be understood and practiced in different ways by diverse Christians. At the Lord’s Supper, Seventh-day Adventists emphasize fellowship with Christ and other believers, as well as praise for all of God’s good gifts, especially His free gift of salvation. JTL26 8.2
