To my knowledge, the only two Christian faiths that take communion as a Sacrament, and those are the Episcopals and the Catholics. While all Christian faiths are founded on the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as many aspects of the Old Testament, not all follow the same sacramental chain.

When exposed to a religious symbol a vampire flees or dies. Some legends say that it has to be held by a believer in the symbol. Mass is full of symbols held by believers. Taking communion is taking a symbol into the body. instant death. At 12:58 PM 4/12/02, you wrote: >Nit Picking here... You are talking about Catholic Vampires (maybe >Episcopalian as well).
