Summary/Abstract: In this study we have intended to present the role, values and mostly the topicality of Lord Jesus Christ’s Sacrifice, began with His birth in the manger of Bethlehem and finished with His suffering and death on the cross. But in a very special manner, our desire was to show the existing relationship between the Savior's sacrifice on the Cross and the Eucharistic one – which is a culmination and extension, a culmination over time and space since Jesus Christ, the High Priest, Sacrifices Himself, within every Holy Mass, with exactly the same reason and purpose to that of His sacrifice on the Cross – namely: our redemption from the state of sin and restoration of the communion between us and God. That is why we pointed out the fact that the Sacrifice on the Golgotha moved by the end of time, on the "Golgotha" which is found in our Holy Churches, namely Holy Table of the Altar where Christ returns and brings Himself, being Sacrificed in the guise of bread and wine, which after the Great Prayer over the Gifts Transformation, they become the Holy Gifts, namely the honorable body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
