Were the Words of the Last Supper Always Part of the Liturgy 2

Did the earliest Christians always recite the words of the Last Supper during the Eucharist? In this episode of The Liturgy Desk, Fr. Arsenius explores whether the earliest Eucharistic prayers — especially before the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) — included a fixed Institution Narrative (“This is my Body… This is my Blood”) as we know it today. For more discussion: Robert F. Taft, "Mass Withou t the Consecration? The Historic Agreement on the Eucharist between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East Promulgated 26 October 20011," Worship 77 (2003): 482–509. Drawing on early Christian sources, pre-Nicene liturgical evidence, and manuscript traditions, we examine: • Whether the words of institution were quoted verbatim in the first three centuries • When and why a fixed formula became widespread • What this means for understanding liturgical development This video continues the discussion raised in my recent episode, “6 Facts About Early and Coptic Liturgy,” where many viewers asked for a deeper explanation of this issue:    • 6 Little Known Facts About Early and Copti...   The goal is not controversy, but clarity: how did the early Church celebrate the Eucharist, and how did the liturgy develop over time?
