I perceive by the nature of your question that you are specifically referring to the Good Friday ceremony when Mass is not celebrated but a Communion service is held using Hosts consecrated the night before on Holy Thursday for this purpose.
If the priest finds himself short on Hosts, he is allowed to break those remaining into as many fragments as necessary in order to distribute Holy Communion to all awaiting recipients. He must break them apart over the paten, or if he does not wish to return to the altar, he can break them inside the ciborium; this is to ensure all consecrated particles remain in their sacred vessels and not on the floor. Since the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is contained in every particle of the host, breaking a Host apart does not effect the grace or validity of the sacrament.
What else can I help you with?
Should you take a communion from a lying pastor?
A priest's ability to consecrate and celebrate the Eucharist is provided to him in his priestly Faculties. This faculty is not impaired or removed simply because the priest is a sinner. In fact it would be a miracle if there were a Catholic Priest anywhere who was not a sinner. So there is nothing wrong, different, or missing in a communion service that is led by a priest who has sinned. You should be able to take communion from this priest in full confidence that it is properly consecrated. Should you take communion? Is a somewhat personal decision. The Catholic Church recommends that as long as the priest still has his faculty to celebrate mass, that you should feel comfortable participating in the mass and receiving communion.
Why is the altar stripped after mass?
Tha main altar cloth is not stripped except onGood Friday, to commemorate Jesus death. On other days ,the altar vessels and corporal ( small cloth used to catch any consecrated bread flakes) are always removed after Mass to purify vessels and take care of corporal if needed. Tha altar is consecrated and should be bare except when priest is celebrating the Eucharist. The book of gospels can be on the altar before that, since it is the Word of God.
Can you heal your own sin without seeing a priest?
Only God can heal you from sin, and will do so if you are truly sorry without seeing a priest; but you should then see a priest fpr the sacrament of reconciliation before receiving communion.

Can you take communion in a garden if the garden has been consecrated by a priest?
No you should take it in a church only.AnswerOf course you can take it in a garden!! Whether it is consecrated or not. Holy communion is taken everywhere - in hospitals, prisons, homes and schools. It is taken on board ship, in planes, and even in pubs (there is a church near me that meets in a local bar! It was even the first meal taken on the moon by Buzz Aldrin and neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.It is not the place where communion is taken that matters - but your relationship with God and the content of your heart.
