You make your communion around 1st or 2nd class. Around 7-9 years old. It's the first time you receive Holy Communion(the body of Christ) the round altar bread.
you prepare for this by doing your first confession as it's said you do not receive Holy Communion until you repent your sins.
It's just a mass ceramony that lasts about an hour,say prayers etc then receive the host. Hope this answers your question

∙ 15y agoFollowers first eat a small sample of bread without yeast (unrisen), sometimes a cracker, which represents Jesus' body. They then drink wine (can be substituted with Grape Juice) which represents Jesus' blood. Communion is based on what Jesus showed his disciples during the Last Supper before he was crucified.

∙ 12y agoThere are options. (I only give examples for the Catholic faith)
The original means of receiving, was at the altar rail, kneeling, saying Amen, as the host was presented, receiving on the tongue, making the sign of the cross, and returning to the pew.
As many altar rails have been removed this practice is not available, and the faithful would say say Amen as the host is presented, and receive on the tongue, step to the side of the minster [ either Priest or Deacon;(clergy) or a "Extraordinary Minster of Holy Communion" (lay person) ] making a gesture of affirmation, and return to the pew.
There are some individuals who wish to either genuflect or knell while queue, I try to discourage this, because they would not be seen by the person behind them and I have seen them trip over each other. I do allow the practice, during weekday Masses, should they be last on line, and should they be insistent and wish to continue their practice on Sunday, I insist that they be last on my line, as I would recognize them, and they each other, therefore we could keep accidents down to a minimum.
The change of the term from "Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist" to "Extraordinary Minister of 'Holy Communion'" was a recent ruling from Pope Benedict. Only the clergy [Bishop, Priest, or Deacon] are Ministers of the Eucharist. It had become confusing particularly in the US, as the word "Extraordinary" was often dropped when refering to a lay person. In addition only a member of the clergy may "purify" the communion cups, a lay minister may not administer the Sacraments to another lay minister, nor may anyone place something on the altar except a clergy member.
Should a person wish to receive on the palm of their hand, (if they are right-handed) they would extend their left hand, palm up, and place their right hand under the left making a "throne". The host is placed in the palm of their left hand, they pick up the host with their right hand and commune themselves. Should they be left handed, they would do the opposite.-------------It is not the practice in the Catholic faith to "lap" (for lack of a better word) the host from the hand.
Intinction (dipping the host into the chalice) is still practiced, rarely. After Vat II, when the people were permitted to receive on the hand, many "old-timers" reverted to intinction to make it impossible to receive in the hand…. Because of the abuse of this practice, a my diocese determined that only those parishes that distributed communion by intinction prior to Vat II could continue. Intinction was not to be practiced in those parishes where it had been used to deny the faithful privilege of receiving in the hand

∙ 10y agoThe term "Eucharist" in the Catholic Church refers to one or all three aspects of one mystery: namely the Real Presence, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and Communion. The Real Presence doesn't really involve a process, and the process of Communion it is Christ coming to enlighten and strengthen the believer by nourishing his soul for eternal life. The only "process" then would necessarily involve the Sacrifice of the Mass. Regarding the Mass, are you asking what the process is by which Our Blessed Lord becomes present - which is transubstantiation, or the outline of the Mass, or what, exactly? You need to reword your question to ask exactly what you would like the answer to, as stated, it is far too nebulous.

Can I receive Holy Communion even though I didn't receive reconciliation?
Roman Catholic AnswerNot if you are in a state of mortal sin. To receive Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin, is not only another mortal sin, but sacrilege and scandal, as well - both of which are mortal sins. You have to remember that Holy Communion is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, Himself, Who is God. Anytime you are in a state of sin you are required to go to confession first, if you are unable to get to confession before Mass, you should refrain from approaching for Communion and make an act of Spiritual Communion - where you pray to God to forgive you and to come into your soul as if you were able to receive Holy Communion.
Can you drink the bread and wine if not confirmed or baptized?
You can eat and drink once you had your 1st communion ceremony and you must be baptized as well.
Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.
Is the holy communion related to the hypostatic union?
No. Communion is just a ceremony of remembrance Jesus said:1Co 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."There is nothing hyper spiritual about it as many churches try to make out it is just a ceremony of remembrance.
What is the Catholic ceremony called when an adult receives communion and confirmation at the same time?
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It takes place at the Easter Vigil.
The word for the ceremony when you drink the Blood of Christ and eat His Body?
Roman Catholic AnswerThis is called Holy Communion, it occurs near the end of the Mass (Eucharist).
Why some churches take communion every first Sundays of the month?
Jesus said, do this in memory of me. But, he did not say how often to do this ceremony. There are those that are not comfortable with communion. And it can be a rather challenging logistics issue to serve some 400 people in a few minutes. It makes it easy for people to know when and where it is being offered.
The way in which Mass is a sacrament?
Mass is a sacrament in that Holy Communion is created through transubstantiation and administered to the Catholics present. Without the Eucharist portion of the mass, it is simply a ceremony or service without a sacrament.
Is sharing a sense of community more important to a communion service than it is to a meaningful celebration of the eucharist?
Holy Communion (a communion service), and the Eucharist, are different names for the same thing. Holy Communion / the Eucharist was the ceremony instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, as recorded in Mark 14:22-24: Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said.
