First Communion is a significant religious ceremony in the Catholic Church where children, typically around the age of seven or eight, receive the Eucharist for the first time. This event marks an important milestone in their spiritual journey, symbolizing their acceptance into the faith and their relationship with Jesus Christ. During the ceremony, children dress in special attire, often white, to signify purity. The event usually takes place during a Mass and is often celebrated with family gatherings and parties afterward. First Communion emphasizes the importance of faith, community, and the teachings of the Church.
