[change] Beliefs about Transubstantiation
Christians who believe in Transubstantiation think that the bread that they eat at Mass is the body of Jesus, but they know that the bread still tastes like bread, looks like bread and smells like bread. It is just like bread, but it is the body of Jesus. This started when Jesus ate a meal called "the Last Supper" and he said that the bread his friends were eating was his body. From that time until now, the bread that is eaten at Mass becomes Jesus' body.
