The Biblical Story of the Mass

Genre: Religious

Premise: Some Catholics may wonder why Jesus is referred to as ``the lamb of God,'' or why the ``body and blood'' of Christ distributed at communion looks and tastes like ordinary bread and wine. Hosted by theologian Tom Nash and Father Wade Menezes, this series presents historical and biblical evidence to shed new light on what really happens on the altar each Sunday morning, and why the Lord's Supper is much more than simply a symbolic meal. Also explored are the distinct liturgical roles of priests and people, and the importance of the Eucharist on one's journey to a more personal relationship with Jesus.
