The Blood of Christ in Christian theology refers to (a) the physical blood actually shed by Jesus Christ especially on the Cross, and the salvation that Christianity teaches can be attained thus; and (b) the sacramental blood present in the Eucharist or the Lord's Supper, considered by Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran Christians to be the same blood of Christ shed on the Cross.
The Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, the Eastern Assyrian Church, and the Lutherans, along with some Anglicans, believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Roman Catholic Church uses the term "Transubstantiation" to describe the change of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Eastern Orthodox authoritatively uses the same term to describe change, as in the Old Orthodox Church Catechism, Catholicism, Eastern Church and in the Synod of Jerusalem 1672.
The Lutheran Church follows Martin Luther's teaching in defining Christ's presence in the elements of the Eucharist as sacramental union (often misunderstood as consubstantiation), meaning that the basic "substance" of Christ's body and blood is literally present next to the substance of bread and wine , which remain. Lutherans also believe and teach Real Presence. Most Protestant churches reject the idea of ​​Real Presence; they observe the eucharistic ceremonies just as a warning.

History
In the early Church, the faithful received the Eucharist in the form of sanctified bread and wine. Saint Maximus explains that in the Old Testament the flesh of the sacrifice was distributed to the people, but the blood of sacrifice was only poured out on the altar. Under the New Law, however, the blood of Jesus is the drink shared by all faithful Christians. Saint Justin Martyr, an early 2nd century Church Father, spoke of the Eucharist as the same body and blood of Christ present in his Incarnation.
The tradition continues in the Church in the East to unify the species of bread and wine, whereas in the West, the Church has the practice of communion under the species of bread and wine separately as custom, with only a small portion of the bread being placed. in the trophy. In the West, the fellowship in the cup is made less and less efficient, because the danger of spreading the disease and the danger of spilling (potentially immoral) is considered sufficient grounds to remove the cup from the general alliance at all, or to give it only on special occasions. However, it is always purified and drunk by the priest, regardless of whether or not the layman participates. This is one of the major problems in the Protestant Reformation. Consequently, the Catholic Church first wants to remove ambiguity, reaffirms that Christ is present both as a body and as the same blood under both types of bread and wine. Over time, trophies are made more available to the laity. After the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church granted full permission for all to receive communion from the cup at each Mass involving the session, at the discretion of the priest.

Theology
Roman Catholic
The Catholic Church teaches that bread and wine, through transubstantiation, become the body, blood, soul and deity of Christ - in other words, the whole Christ - when consecrated. Until his abolition of the Roman General Calendar in 1969, the Most Valuable Blood Feast was set on July 1st.
Loyalty to Precious Blood was a major phenomenon of Flemish piety in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, giving rise to the iconic image of Grace as the "Fountain of Life," filled with blood, flowing from wounding "Lamb of God" > or "Holy Luka" belongs to Christ. The image, which is the subject of many Flemish paintings is partly driven by the famous relics of the Precious Blood, which have been recorded in Bruges since at least the twelfth century and which spawned, from the late thirteenth century, until the celebration. , Especially for Bruges, from the "Saint Sang" procession from the chapel.

Eastern Orthodox
Orthodox taught that what is received in Holy Communion is the real Body of the Resurrection and Blood of Jesus Christ. In the West, the words of the Institute are regarded as the moment in which the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. But for Orthodox there is no defined moment; on the contrary, all that Orthodox theology suggests is that at the end of the Epiclesis, the change was completed. Orthodox also does not use the Latin theological term Transubstansiation to define the conversion of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, they use the word metaousia without proper theological elaboration accompanying the term transubstantiation.
According to Saint John Damascene, Holy Mysteries (under the form of bread and wine) do not become mortal until they are truly accepted in faith by believing Christians in a state of grace.
Devotion
In Eastern Orthodox churches, and Eastern Catholic Churches following the Byzantine Rite, there is no individual devotion to the Blood of Christ separated from the Body of Christ, or apart from the reception of Holy Communion.
When receiving Holy Communion, the priests (deacons, priests, and bishops) will receive the Body of Christ separately from the Blood of Christ. Then, the remaining parts of the Lamb are sanctified (divided) and placed in a bowl and both the Body and Blood of Christ are communicated to the faithful using a liturgical spoon (see also Intention).
Artistic depictions
The blood shed by Christ is a common theme in early modern Italian art. The Christ paintings depicted on the cross and as the Men of the False consistently become some of the bloodiest pictures in Christian art. The blood of Christ is an interesting artistic symbol of its incarnation and sacrifice. As a theme for contemplation, it provides pilgrims with the means of articulating their devotion.
