In the medieval [[Georgian Orthodox Church]], the term ''agapi'' referred to a commemorative meal or distribution of victuals, offered to clergymen, the poor, or passers-by, accompanying the funeral service on the anniversary of the deceased. The permanent celebration of these meals was assured by legacies and foundations.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Toumanoff|first=Cyril|author-link=Cyril Toumanoff|title=The Fifteenth-Century Bagratids and the Institution of Collegial Sovereignty in Georgia|journal=Traditio|date=1949–1951|volume=7|page=175}}</ref>

 

After the [[Protestant Reformation]] there was a move amongst some groups of Christians to try to return to the practices of the [[Apostolic Age|New Testament Church]]. One such group was the [[Schwarzenau Brethren]] (1708) who counted a [[Lovefeast|Love Feast]] consisting of Feet-washing, the Agape Meal, and the Eucharist among their "outward yet sacred" ordinances. Another was the [[Moravian Church|Moravians]] led by [[Count Zinzendorf]] who adopted a form consisting of the sharing of a simple meal, and then [[testimony|testimonies]] or a devotional address were given and letters from missionaries read.
