What is the meaning of the bread and wine in the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 2 sources

In the Lord's Supper, the bread symbolizes Christ's broken body, and the wine represents His shed blood, both for our redemption.

The bread and wine in the Lord's Supper hold deep theological significance rooted in Christ's sacrifice. The bread, broken and shared, symbolizes the body of Christ, which was offered for the salvation of His people, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament. The cup of wine represents His blood, the New Testament in His blood, which was shed for the remission of sins. This act of partaking in the Supper is a reminder of the lengths to which God has gone to redeem His people, as it encapsulates the grace of God manifested in Christ’s atoning work.
