I have failed to find in the bible where it explicitly says that we are to commeorate Jesus's Death. Can anyone direct me to where it says that, I know the "last" supper was told to be repeated. but nowhere can I find where it says to commeorate his death. Any help will be much appreciated. Tks in Advance buff

1 Cor. 11: 20-34...Regarding the Lord's Evening Meal, which is different from the Passover celebration. It shows that they were to have already eaten before coming together to consume the wine and bread.

Wasn't the last supper symbolically saying we should be cannibals? We should drink blood and eat flesh???

Only the blood and flesh of Christ, and it's symbolic, otherwise Jesus would have just hacked off a piece of his arm and poured out some blood.
My question is on the yearly observance. Jesus merely said to "Keep doing this in rememberance of me." He didn't say establish a yearly ritual, as JW's have done. Also, under JW doctrine, Jesus' words do not apply to the Great Crowd since they are not in this Covenant for a Kingdom and Jesus is not their mediator. Why do the Great Crowd even see the need to attend?
