Anthropophagi

Anthropophagi are eaters of human flesh; cannibals.

Critics of early Christianity accused Jesus’ followers of being anthropohagi. The charge of ritual cannibalism was probably based on confused accounts of the Christian Eucharist.

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." (I Corinthians 11: 24-25, NASB)
