Luke writes that the church in Troas was meeting on the first
day of the week for the purpose of breaking bread.
In LUKE 24, it is the first workday of the week,
after the Sabbath had passed. The Troas event or
breaking of bread is not mentioned in Luke .
Acts 2:42 NIV
The Fellowship of the Believers
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and
to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
If you continue to Acts 2:46, it shows daily they broke bread
and ate meals [meat] together, giving thanks to God.
....46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God,...
This breaking bread was not Communion—it was simply eating a meal
at some ones house. They would be in the temple during the day.
Do you take communion every day of the week from house to house ?
Acts 20:7 NIV
Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.
Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave
the next day, kept on talking until midnight.
So after the Sabbath had passed, after dark, they came together
to eat a meal. Paul was giving last minute instructions, [because]
he was to leave in the morning, a long walk on the first workday.
It does not say this was done every week, or a command to do again.
If it does, do you go to church service Saturday nights and eat ?
They continued to observe the Days of Unleavened Bread (Acts 20:6)
Do you observe the days of Unleavened Bread as they did that year ?
If you continue to Acts 20:11 , they never had time to break bread
and eat until after the incident in the upper chamber.
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had [broken bread, and eaten],
and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed."
They broke bread and ate. This breaking bread was not Communion
—it was simply eating a meal. Then on the morning of the first workday of
the week, Paul started his long walk to the next place he was headed too.

In Acts 27:33-35, Here Paul broke bread to give to unconverted
sailors who were hungry and had been fasting. “Paul besought them
all to take meat to eat for there health.
"Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health?
.… And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God
in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat”
Again This breaking bread was not Communion—it was simply eating a meal.
“To break bread” (klasai arton), is the literal rendering of the
Hebrew idiom (paras lechem), and it means to partake of food,
and is used ofeating as in a meal. The figure (or idiom) arose
from the fact that among the Hebrews bread was made, not in
loaves as with us, but with round cakes about as thick as the thumb."
There bread they ate was not pre-cut and rapped in plastic.
To break bread so everyone could have some, "with thanks"
given to God for your daily food portions..
