Holy communion

Holy communion (also referred to as the Eucharist) is a practice that is common in various sects of Christianity, where believers in a worship service partake in eating a small portion of bread and wine as either emblems of Jesus Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, or (as seen in Catholicism) as the emblems being made into the body and blood of Jesus. It is modeled after the last supper that Jesus partook with His disciples shortly before His death.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, a similar form of communion takes place every year at the successful completion of the Redemption Day ritual of swimming across the Pool Of Souls. Tapper himself has witnessed the actual practice taking place in churches located in various human villages surrounding the Smurf Forest.
