The Apostle Paul says the Lord’s Supper proclaims His death until He comes again. That is symbolic.
Not symbolic. The Eucharist proclaims Jesus death because we partake of that sacrifice and death which made Jesus Flesh and Blood available to us to eat and drink as He commanded.
We have a prayer we say at Communion.
“ When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your death oh Lord, until you come again. “
Because for us it is not just bread and wine, but the Flesh and Blood of Christ crucified.
That is why it is a proclamation of Jesus death, because it is Jesus Body and Blood.
Something symbolic, would not actually be a proclamation of Jesus death.
