Memorialism is the belief held by many Protestant denominations that the elements of bread and wine (or juice) in the Eucharist (more often referred to as The Lord's Supper by memorialists) are symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus, the feast being primarily a memorial meal. The theory comes largely from the work of Reformed theologian Huldrych Zwingli. The term comes from Luke 22:19: "This do in memory of me" and the attendant interpretation that the Lord's Supper's chief purpose is to help the participant remember Jesus.

This viewpoint is commonly held by Evangelical churches such as Baptists, Pentecostals, Plymouth Brethren and the Restoration Movement.^[1]
