Description

Explore the complex dynamics of one of the most significant events in the Roman Catholic liturgical year. First Communion is a ritual where seven- or eight-year-old children are admitted to the Eucharist for the first time. While this celebration attracts the largest congregations within a parish, it is often a source of tension and dissent among community members. This book examines how the ritual holds different meanings for various groups. From the perspectives of clergy and parish schools to regularly communicating parishioners and the families of the first communicants, the text explores the social and religious identity shaped by this event. It provides a deep look into the dissonance that can arise during such a major liturgical milestone, making it a valuable resource for those studying worship and society.
