What is the Sacrament ordinance?

Mormons take the Sacrament each Sunday during Sacrament Meeting. The Sacrament is an ordinance that helps us remember the Savior's sacrifice for each one of us. Pieces of bread are blessed and passed to the congregation, and then little cups of water are blessed and passed. The bread and water represent Jesus's body and blood which were torn and shed for us during the Savior's suffering in Gethsemane and his crucifixion. During the Sacrament, the chapel gets pretty quiet as we try to think about the Savior and all that He has done for us. ("Ye saints, partake and testify ye do remember him." ~Hymn 182, v.4)
