justin martyr
whether the agape feast, a full meal held by christians in the first centuries, was in all cases associated with a celebration of the eucharist is uncertain. in any case, abuses connected with the celebration of the full meal, abuses denounced by the apostles paul and jude, led to a distinct celebration of the eucharist. the form of this celebration in the middle of the second century is described by justin martyr as very similar to today's eucharistic rites known in the west as the mass and in much of the east as the divine liturgy. the regular celebration was held each week on the day called sunday, which christians were also calling the lord's day. they included readings from scripture, a homily, prayer by all, a prayer by "the president of the brethren" over bread and wine mixed with water, to which all respond with "amen", and then a distribution to those present of that over which thanks have been given, while "deacons" take portions to those who are absent. there was also a collection to help widows and orphans and those in need because of reasons such as sickness. justin wrote that the christians did not receive the bread and the wine mixed with water over which the thanksgiving was pronounced and which they called εὐχαριστία (the eucharist - literally, thanksgiving), as common bread and common drink, having been taught that "the food which is blessed by the prayer of his word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that jesus who was made flesh."
