Take and Eat: Bible Stories for Kids about the Eucharist

On the night before he died, Jesus Christ celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples and told them to take and eat bread and drink the wine that is his body and blood. Then he told them to celebrate that meal in remembrance of him. This collection of Bible stories explores the meaning of the Eucharist that we celebrate during the Catholic Mass. Children will explore Old and New Testament stories from the Garden of Eden to the Last Supper, the Resurrection, and the Book of Revelation. Along this journey they will gain a deeper understanding of the Eucharist and the Mass. Reading stories from the Garden of Eden to the Passover feast then through the many stories in the gospels that lead up to the Last Supper, children will understand the meaning behind the Mass. Each short Bible story in this book includes a brief introduction, an easy-to-read retelling of events, and reflection questions.
