[Marcia22190]

It is my understanding that some Christian denominations teach that the wafer and the wine at communion are not merely a symbol of the body and blood of Jesus, but undergo a miracle called transubstantiation, in which they actually become the body and blood, etc., of Jesus. Do Christians who believe these teachings actually believe that if you took the wine and wafers to a lab and had them tested, the analysis would come back as human flesh and human blood? Wouldn’t that then be cannibalism? Or am I being too literal, and is it considered a spiritual, rather than physical, transformation?
