In Ireland a child’s First Communion is a special landmark event in their life. Receiving the Eucharist for the first time, children engage in this rite of passage in order to experience their religious faith in a new and more mature way; from this point on, they will be allowed to receive Holy Communion every time they attend mass, partaking with everyone else in the all-important body of Jesus Christ. It is an important ceremony for the child as well as the parents and family members who celebrate the religious event along with guests.
For all young ones lucky enough to experience this special day, a commemorative present is usually in order -- and here at ShamrockGift.com, we’re happy to say that we’ve got you covered and you can easily find an appropriate gift for Holy Communion in Ireland. The perfect Irish First Communion gift can range from religious themed presents (such as rosaries, prayer books, cross pendants, religious statues, and holy cards) to more practical and playful children’s gifts, such as toys, games, and items of baby clothing. Children making their First Communion are, after all, most usually between the ages of seven and nine, when the ceremony is celebrated in the Roman Catholic or Lutheran Church -- so it’s important to make them feel special and help them understand the true significance and wonder of this momentous day.
