最初の聖体拝領

Spain is a Christian country with many Catholic traditions. An important event for Spanish children is called First Communion (English name). Children attend a course of religious lessons which culminates in a ceremony. The ceremony is a major event for Spanish children. They wear special costumes and receive lots of presents from friends and family. There are parties at the children's houses and the presents are displayed next to the costumes. People bring presents and food, usually cake, and the proud parents welcome each guest enthusiastically.

I was invited by two neighbours in Spain and took these photos.
