Zone1 How did you celebrate the day of your First Holy Communion?

did your mom not organize some celebration?

Gosh, it was such a long time ago, I don't even remember. I would have to ask her. Why are you asking?

Yes, I know. Anyway, as I said, it doesn't matter anyway, since it was just a religious ceremony that held no significance for me.

no festive family reunion?

As a teenager, I was an infrequent visitor to a Baptist church in a suburb of houston. Then one day I visited on the fifth sunday of a month of sundays and they had communion.

I had thought that was some mystcism of another religion that wasn't centered on the bible. The preacher reminded us that the wine would not really turn into the blood of Jesus and that it contained no al-kee-hall.

Tell you what. I'll ask her if there was a family celebration afterward, and I'll get back to you on it. I honestly don't remember. But again, I don't see why it would interest you or anyone, since it was just a religious ceremony that didn't mean anything to me. What is much more important is a true inner change that takes place when a person actually begins to believe and surrenders fully to God, and becomes born again. Wouldn't you agree that that is much more meaningful than a ceremony that a child goes through who doesn't even understand what's going on, and is only there because their parents (in my case, my mom...my dad was an atheist and didn't go to church with us) made them be there?
