Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church Fathers of the Church - Iraneus (c. 140 - 202 A.D.)
"The Sacrament of the Eucharist, which the Lord commanded to be taken at meal times and by all, we take even before daybreak in congregations... We offer sacrifices of the dead on their birthday anniversaries.... We take anxious care lest something of our Cup or Bread should fall upon the ground..." (The Crown 3:3-4)
