Institution of the Holy Eucharist



"A final mystery of light is the institution of the Eucharist, in which Christ offers his body and blood as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies “to the end” his love for humanity (Jn 13:1), for whose salvation he will offer himself in sacrifice." – Pope St John Paul II. April is the month of the Holy Eucharist, and later this month, on 18th April (Maundy Thursday), we will commemorate in the Sacred Liturgy that evening before his Passion, when Christ our Lord instituted the Holy Eucharist. This stained glass window is in Ghent Cathedral.
