Summary/Abstract: The Holy Eucharist contains the whole spiritual good of Church. It is Jesus Christ, our Passover. The Church exists owing to the Eucharist. Its celebration in the Armenian Catholic Church is according to ancient rites, which are common in the Armenian Apostolic Church and with some elements of Roman Liturgy. It is presence of Jesus Christ and his saving act. A crucial aspect of the Eucharist is the mystery of crucifiction and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His presence is prolonged beyond celebration due to Eucharistic worship. The Church as people of The New Covenant celebrates The Mystery of Salvation of Jesus Christ from a day of Descent of the Holy Spirit. In sacramental way the passing from the cross to resurrection is presented. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the christian life.
