History of the holiday
World Communion Sunday was established in 1933 by the United Methodist Church in the United States as a way to encourage unity among Christians of different denominations and cultures. The idea was for believers to participate in communion simultaneously, remembering their shared faith and spiritual connection with brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
How the holiday is celebrated
The main focus of the holiday is on worship and communion, but there are various forms of participation:

* Discussing topics of global ministry and mutual support
* Organizing charitable actions and assistance for those in need
Purpose of the holiday
The main goal is to emphasize the spiritual unity of all Christians regardless of geographic, cultural, or denominational differences. World Communion Sunday reminds us that shared faith and communion connect people around the world into one spiritual family.
