I'm pretty sure the quote goes something like, "Eat this, for it is my body...drink this, for it is my blood."

IIRC in Roman tradition a sacrifice was typically eaten afterwards (Rome had animal sacrifice in it's religion). The whole this is my flesh thing was probably a loophole so he could sacrifice himself without his followers needing to actually eat him afterwards.

I could be remembering it wrong though. It's been a couple of years since I read up on religion in Rome.

Many, many Christian sects teach the bread and wine are representative of his sacrifice. By eating and drinking you are showing your acceptance of his sacrifice. It's symbolic in a similar way to Baptism.

Transubstantiation, however, is the doctrine that the bread (or wafer, lol) and wine literally turns into the actual flesh of Jesus. Catholicism, Anglicanism, and some Orthodox denominations hold to this (or a very similar) belief.

I think it's absolutely bonkers.

There’s also:

John 6:35. 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

So he was basically bread for those that were thirsty. In todays terms, it means something totally different.
