Na wa for you o. Something that Christ asked us to do in the Bible is a Catholic/Anglican thing? The way you guys reason sha. Other churches have been doing it since. It not a catholic thing.

IecheM:
Hello fellow nairalanders, so after church service today we had holy communion and they were some leftovers. Please I would like to know if it's right to dispose the leftovers or share the rest among ourselves.

Over to the pastor's in the house.

Templa:
Lol come to the catholic church for tutorials

ireneidiva:

It is not only the catholic church that uses leaven bread.

Vanillaskin:

Please do share, since when? Don't sound too general, at least try to use actual facts like "other churches have been doing it for the past 30-40 years" which I doubt

faceURfront:

ireneidiva:

Since their creation. You know there are different pentecostal churches. Some have not stayed for up to 40 years. So you can't use that standard.

I remember those days we started taking the communion newly. I didn't even really know what it meant even after attending confirmation classes. All I wanted to do is have a feel of that sweet taste of wine. Hehe.

Well, thank God for salvation, a deeper understanding of the word and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Raise your hands if you understand what I'm saying.

Are the two fishes and five loaves of bread the communion Jesus instituted? How can you make such allusions?

You should have made reference to the last supper when Jesus broke bread with his disciples. .
Well, in the catholic church, leftovers are stored in the tabernacle. And if there's no tabernacle, the priest ensures that there's no leftovers either by eaten all of it, or sharing large amounts to the recipients of the Eucharist.

Emily22:
Shebi na prawn crackers and velleta wine....we go chop everything ni

Divay22:
In my church we share it o

vicfy:
Na Agege bread?

Keneking:
Line the altar boys and let them feast..if the Catholic church is not a Parish.

The home of communion is the Blessed Tabernacle.

Divay22:

Lol
Nah.. But it's too sweet to ignore

rossyc:

Also in parishes without a tabernacle, communion cards is been issued to ensure their is no leftover.

ProfEinstein:
In the Catholic church it is kept in the tabernacle and never to be tampered with except by the priest.

Pavore9:
For the Catholic Church, it goes back to the Tabernacle.

Bossontop:

I guess in ur church d pastor doesn't pray for everybody(including d children) b4 d communion abii??

phemmyfour:
You are the one without understanding of the Bible. Communion is sacred, eating it is sacred as well and comparing it to "feeding of five thousands" shows your level of understanding

TLisieux:
For us Catholics, holy communion or the holy eucharist is Jesus Christ himself after the priest says the eucharistic prayer (transubstantiation). So it is sacrilegious to treat it as mere bread or leftover food to be thrown away. It is kept in the ciborium and placed inside the tabernacle. The holy eucharist is the centre and source of our faith.

LogicStatement:
Op, it depends on what you refer to as holy communion in your church. If it is ribina or coke and biscuit then, you store the remnants the way you store such food, after all, your communion is a blessed food just like we bless our everyday food we eat. But if it is Holy Eucharist which comes to be through the transubstantiation of the bread and wine by the actions of the priest who is the representative of Jesus Christ, then, the left over (even crumps) is the same in substance as the ones taken and IT IS the whole of Jesus Christ Himself. Note that the Holy Eucharist or communion IS Jesus Christ Himself and therefore, if remaining after distribution to only those worthy to receive Him, the leftover are either consumed by the priest if there is no storage facility in the parish or it is kept in the ciborium and stored in the tabernacle for use at the next Holy Mass.
Churches should please avoid practising things they do not understand. Things like the Holy Eucharist has deeper spiritual meaning which should not be joked with. *imagine, a Christian asking if the Holy Communion should be disposed?! Common, How does one dispose Jesus? Hmmm...look at what protestant churches have done to the body of Christ!

micflo28:
For us catholics, the most important time of the mass is the period of trans-substanciation. When prayers of it are said by the priest and it turns by faith body and blood of Jesus. What most priests do is gather every left overseas at the pallette and charlice used in distributing it into one charlice pours the wine and drink and excess kept in the tabernacle. Reason is the priest at the holy mass represents peter, the rock the church was built and he is a host and authority to keeping the sanctity of the Eucharist and also a bridge to bring faithfuls to Jesus.

Biggaboi:

That's right. There's no such thing as leftovers!

AkunnaTochi:

Oga, the Eucharist isn't meant for kids. It's meant for discerning believers who are in a state of grace.
Kindly read up 1 Cor. 11:23-30.

I don't know how you Protestants see the Eucharist but for us Catholics, it is the body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord. The real presence.
Not for kids, brother.
Not for kids.

DREAMZZZ:
