It is a special sacrament because you are receiving Jesus Himself!
Jesus stated, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life within you." People started quarrelling and disputing about what he said. Jesus seeing that the people were confused about what he said did not clarify what he said but he went on and reassure that it is to be taken literally. Exactly one year later, he had the Last Supper.

Eastern Orthodox Christians are permitted with special permission to receive the Eucharist from a Catholic Church on certain occasions and other non-Catholic Christians may be able to receive if they are in danger of death, express a belief in the Eucharist, and ask for it on their own initiative. The reason for this is that only the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church believe in the Eucharist in the proper sense, and furthermore, the Eucharist is a sacrament of unity within the Church, and it would be wrong for those who do not share fully in the unity of the Catholic Church to receive it.
