Q: What is communion? The English word “communion” comes from the Latin communio (sharing in common), which was used by early translators of the Bible to translate the ancient Greek word koinonia. The Root Word: Koinos is the ancient Greek adjective koinos, which means “common,” “public,” or “shared by all” So, the word “Communion” comes from the Greek word “to give thanks,” which makes sense because in communion, we give thanks for what Jesus has done for us.
