The Eucharist is the Catholic version of Communion; although it is very similar to other Christian communions, it has one key belief that changes the complexity of it: transubstantiation. Transustantiation is the belief that the Priest literally changes the bread into the body of Jesus disguised as bread, the wine turns into the blood of Jesus. Other Christians make the bread and wine symbols of Jesus' body and blood, not believing it is literally his. It makes the Eucharist seem much more real and important in the Catholic faith.

I learned about transubstanation during confirmation, but i've always found it interesting that catholics believe that the bread and wine actually are the blood and body of christ.
