Hi! can someone tell me what a holy communion is? it's for my religious education essay. thanksx

Explanation: The Holy Communion is a practice in Christianity, also recognised as one of the 7 sacraments (First Holy Communion). This is where a child (typically 7-10 years old) has their first Eucharist and confession. This is when they go to the priest and confess their sins, and can then claim the Eucharist, which is when they eat "the body of Christ". The small piece of bread given is known as "the body of Christ", and the wine as Jesus's blood. (check next answer for the rest)

After receiving the first Holy Communion, this is simply a natural procession in church. Priest will say "The Body of Christ", the receiver says "Amen", and eats the bread. Upon eating the bread, they do the sign of the cross. This is done to symbolise that Christ is among the receiver of the Communion.

Its when u drink wine and bread at church which represents gods flesh and blood and there is scriptures and songs then you have to wash feet. Etc... Different churches do diff things.
