Communion, a fellowship or agreement, when several persons join and partake together of one thing (; ); hence its application to the celebration of the Lord's supper as an act of fellowship among Christians (); and it is to this act of participation or fellowship that the word 'communion' is now restricted in the English language, the more familiar application of it having fallen into disease.
