Why do boys wear a red sash at their holy communion?

Red is symbolic of two things: 1. The Holy Spirit (who appeared as tongues of flame on the disciples on Pentecost). 2. The Precious Blood of Jesus, which is received in the form of wine at Communion. Boys may wear a red sash at their First Holy Communion (so everyone can see it's their First Communion), but when they receive Communion on subsequent occasions, they just wear regular clothes.
