Sacrament

  1. The weekly ordinance of blessing and passing bread and water to the congregation in remembrance of Jesus Christ's body and blood — the Latter-day Saint counterpart to communion.

Blessed by Aaronic Priesthood holders and passed by young men (deacons), it's the sacred center of Sunday worship; partaking renews the covenants members made at baptism.
