How to get the Selected Item in Context Menu

I have a context menu that has binding items and I want to set up a command and command parameter so I know which item was clicked on but I don't know how.

<MenuItem Command="{Binding Sync}"   
  Header="Synchronize" 
  ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsToSync}">
  <MenuItem.Icon>
      <Image Height="25" Source="Sync.png" />
  </MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>

That did not help but I was able to create my own solution.

 <MenuItem Header="Synchronize" ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsToSync}">
                    <MenuItem.Icon>
                        <Image Height="25" Source="Sync.png" />
                    </MenuItem.Icon>
                    <MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
                        <Style>
                            <Setter Property="MenuItem.Header" Value="{Binding Name}" />
                            <Setter Property="MenuItem.IsChecked" Value="{Binding IsCurrent}" />
                            <Setter Property="MenuItem.Command" Value="PT:Commands.SyncFromContextMenu" />
                            <Setter Property="MenuItem.CommandParameter" Value="{Binding}" />
                        </Style>
                    </MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>

                </MenuItem>
</MenuItem>

I did have to create a static class for the command.

You can try something like this: In this example I have a listview and I can right click and delete a selected item. The Reason I'm using RelativeSource here is because when it comes to passing parameters in menuitems, most of the time at this level you can't reach the datacontext of the page. Hope this helps.

               <ListView.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu>
                        <MenuItem Header="Delete" Command="{Binding Path=DeleteDescriptions}" CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ContextMenu}, Path=PlacementTarget.SelectedItem}" Name="MenuItem1">
                        </MenuItem>
                    </ContextMenu>
                </ListView.ContextMenu>
