Jesus has been colonized meaning his jewishness was stripped and just about every other culture in the world has been given to him instead. Along with Jesus himself, different traditions were created in celebration of this colonized Jesus and one of those traditions is communion. But, communion is not a new invention of Jesus, his disciples or the writers of the New Testament. While the drinking of the wine and the eating of bread as the blood and body of Yeshua is certainly from the New Testament the way and timing of what Yeshua and his disciples were actually doing have deep roots in the Old Testament and Jewish tradition.
