Starotestamentalne źródła Eucharystii
Old Testament Sources of the Eucharist

Summary/Abstract: The entire Christian worship centres around the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the miracle that Jesus Christ left us. Tracking the various forms of offering sacrifices to God gives us a broader insight into the sources of what the Saviour ordered to do for his memorial. This article examines the cult of Israel with its various forms of offering sacrifices in order to highlight the direction in which the understanding of offering gifts to God developed. This allows one to see the changes that led to the worship and the most perfect sacrifice, the Sacrifice of the New Covenant. The article considers various forms of offering sacrifices in the Old Testament, with the special distinction of the Passover as the immediate announcement of the Eucharist. The theology of places of offering sacrifices (material and spiritual), that is temple and synagogue, was also taken into account.
