The first Holy Communion, a Roman Catholic religious ceremony, has its origins in the Middle Ages, when children had to understand the distinction between plain bread and the bread of life (the body of Christ) before they were given Communion. Now church leaders accept seven or eight years old as an age of reason when the children (often dressed in white) receive their First Holy Communion, without requiring the children to explain the distinction between the two breads.
Example:
A: Where are you off, Sally?
B: I'm going to my confirmation class tonight. I have my First Communion next Sunday. My parents are having a get-together for family and friends after the ceremony. Why don't you drop by?
A: Don't mind if I do. And I'll bring a little something for you to make your day even more rewarding.
B: Only if you insist.
