First Communion

rdfs:comment

The First Communion is an event where a young child can take the sacrement of the holy eucharist for the first time. The First Communion (First Holy Communion) is a Catholic Church ceremony. It is the colloquial name for a person's first reception of the sacrament of the Eucharist. Catholics believe this event to be very important, as the Eucharist is one of the central focuses of the Catholic Church. First Communion is not practiced in most Eastern Catholic Churches, which practice Infant Communion. First Communion is also celebrated by some Protestant denominations, particularly Lutherans. Celebration of this ceremony is typically less elaborate in Protestant churches that practice it. A distinction that must be made is that Protestants do not believe in the true presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, but instead take it as a "representation," while Catholics do believe in the true presence.
