I remeber hearing (I sadly can’t remeber where) about there being some stuff about the eucharist in the book of Revelation. Is this true? If so, Where can I find out about it?

Start in chapter 1 and finish in Chapter 21.
Seriously though,
Sunday worship - ***I was caught up in spirit on the Lord’s Day …***1:10
A high priest - one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest. 1:13
An altar - "Come and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those who are worshiping in it." 11:1; 8:3-4; 14:18;
**Vestments - ** ***They stood before the throne … wearing white robes and holding palms … ***7:9; 1:13; 4:4; 6:11; 15:6; 19:13-14
**Priests (“presbyteroi”) - ** ***Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones on which twenty-four elders sat, dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads. ***4:4; 11:16; 14:3; 19:4
Consecrated celibacy - These are they who were not defiled with women; they are virgins and … follow the Lamb wherever he goes. 14:4
The tabernacle (tent) - The temple that is the heavenly tent of testimony … 15:5
Lampstands (Menorah) - … when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands 1:12; 2:5
**Incense - ** … gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. 5:8; 8:3-5
Chalices - One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven gold bowls … 15:7; 16:1; 21:9
The Sign of the Cross - … until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants** (“tau”)** *** of our God ***7:3; 14:1; 22:4
The Gloria - and the song of the Lamb: "Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty. … For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed." 15:3-4
The Alleluia - …a great multitude in heaven, saying: "Alleluia! Salvation, glory, and might belong to our God."19:1,3,4,6
Lift up your hearts - Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, "Come up here." 11:12
The Amen - The twenty-four elders … worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen. Alleluia." 19:4; 22:21
The Lamb of God - Then I saw standing in the midst of the throne … a Lamb that seemed to have been slain. 5:6 and throughout
Intercession of angels and saints - I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered … cried out in a loud voice, "How long will it be, holy and true master, before you sit in judgment and avenge our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?" 8:3-4; 5:8; 6:9-10
Antiphonal chant - They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb” … "Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen." 4:8-11; 5:9-14; 7:10-12; 18:1-8
Silent contemplation - … there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 8:1
God’s faithful singing praise - They sang a new hymn: "Worthy are you … for you were*** slain and with your blood you purchased for God those from every tribe … people and nation***. 4:8; 5:9; 14:3; 15:3
Kneeling before Christ - When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead. 1:17; 4:10

How about:
As we sing, “*Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might”, *we share inJohn’s vision. In chapter 4 of Revelations, he witnessed four living creatures day and night never ceasing to sing, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (Rev. 4:8).
When the priest holds up the consecrated host and says, “This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper”, he is repeating those words said in Chapter 19, hearing the mighty voice of a great multitude in heaven singing, “Hallelujah!” and announcing the wedding supper of the Lamb.
Our Catechism understands the connection between the Mass and the Apocalypse: “The Book of Revelation of St John, read in the Church’s liturgy, first reveals to us, ‘A throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne’… ‘the Lord God’ (Rev. 4:2, 8). It then shows the Lamb, ‘standing as though it had been slain’ (Rev. 5:6): Christ crucified and risen, the one high priest of the true sanctuary, the same one ‘who offers and is offered, who gives and is given.’ Finally, it presents the ‘river of the water of life… flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb,’ one of the most beautiful symbols of the Holy Spirit (Rev. 22:1)” (Cat. no. 1137).
From the opening verses of the book, it is clear that the Church’s liturgy is the proper context for the Apocalypse. “Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear” (Rev. 1:3). The “one who reads” is the lector and “those who hear” refer to the congregation.
At the end of the seven letters, Jesus says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” (Rev. 3:20). This is easily recognizeable as a reference to the Eucharist.
“Hallel,” means “praise.” It is from this word that we get our English word, “Hallelujah” or “Alleluia.” “Yah,” the short form in Hebrew for God’s name “Yahweh” when combined with Hallel means, “praise God.” After the persecutors of God’s people are judged in Rev. 17-18, John sees the angels and saints at a meal celebrated in the heavenly Mt. Zion, where they sing “Hallelujah!” Just as the Passover meal was celebrated with the drinking of the seder cups and the singing of the “Hallel” Psalms, Revelation depicts a meal that is celebrated after the “cups” are poured out (Rev. 16-17) and after the saints sing “Hallelujah” (Rev. 19:1-9). John thus sees the Eucharist as the New Passover celebrated in the heavenly Promised Land.

Run, don’t walk, to your local bookstore and get “The Lamb’s Supper” by Scott Hahn. You won’t be sorry.I remeber hearing (I sadly can’t remeber where) about there being some stuff about the eucharist in the book of Revelation. Is this true? If so, Where can I find out about it?
