The whole meal is the eucharistia, the Greek form of Iranian hu-khoresht, the good meal, the divine meal. The two ancient Iranian words for the holy repast in the Gathas are myazda and myastra; one gives the Persian miz and Latin mass, and the other gives Greek musterion, mystery. I'd only comment that Iranian, Greek, and for that matter English are all Indo-European languages. Word similarities are not infrequent due to the common descent from proto-Indo-European. So word similarities don't necessarily mean much. If I eat in a mess hall it doesn't make me a Catholic or Mithraist despite the similarity to mass and miz.
