Matthew in Chapter 26:26-28 recalls the institution of the Holy Eucharist: "While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.' And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.'" Matthew 26:26-28 Luke recounts that Jesus commanded, "Do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19).
Along with Baptism and Confirmation, First Holy Communion is one of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church. As children reach the age of accountability, they begin to participate more in prayer and reflection in preparation for receiving the Holy Eucharist for the first time.
Help a child to commemorate this step in their sacramental life with a gift of this rosary and teaching them how to pray it, reflecting on the life of Christ, the gift of the Holy Eucharist, and the love and support we enjoy as members of the Mystical Body of Christ!
These First Holy Communion rosaries are designed for the smaller hands of children, using 6mm Swarovski pearls for the Ave beads. They come in a variety of color combinations, including Ave beads in Light Creamrose and Light Grey, and Pater Beads in silver cross, blue crystal butterflies, and pink crystal butterflies, along with accents of Swarovski crystals in Light Sapphire or Light Rose. The centerpieces are an enameled Holy Communion chalice (blue, pink, or white), or a brushed silver chalice, and the crucifix is brushed silver. The centerpieces and crucifixes are made in Italy.
