What does the breaking of bread at Communion symbolize?

Answered in 1 source

The breaking of bread symbolizes Christ's body broken for the sins of His people.

In the practice of Communion, or the Lord's Table, the breaking of bread serves as a profound act of remembrance of Christ's sacrifice. The bread is unleavened, symbolizing the sinless body of Christ, which was broken for the transgressions of humanity. This act reflects both His physical suffering and the spiritual reality that He bore the penalty for sin on behalf of His people. When believers partake in this ritual, they acknowledge their sinfulness and the necessity of Christ's sacrifice for their redemption, as they commune with Him through faith.
