Pandora, There are many references in the ACT of the Apostles to breaking bread. Catholics believe this means the Eucharist. Examples are in Acts 2:42.""And they continued steadfastly in the teachings of the apostles and in communion. of the breaking of the bread and prayers."and in Acts 20:7 änd on the first day of the week when we ha met for the breaking of bread". This is continued every day in the Catholic Church.
Well the term breaking bread for them was much like an American saying its dinner time. It’s just how they coined the phrase “dinner time” back in the day. So them saying lets break bread only means let’s eat dinner...Many middle eastern people still say “let us break bread” I think its kind of cute really… But I don’t find anything holy about it. Plus the bread they normally ate at meal times was leaven not unleavened and would never be able to serve the purpose of the "body of Christ"
