The emblems of the sacrament are symbols of the sacrifice of the Savior’s flesh and body that were broken and his blood that was spilt in the course of the infinite and eternal Atonement. The symbolic nature of these sacred emblems is clearly taught in the scriptures (see JST, Matthew 26:22-25; JST, Mark 14:20-25; 3 Nephi 18:7-10; see also Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary 1:718-24).
