It means the person has received the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the body of Christ, for the first time. The majority of Catholic children receive their first Communion when they are seven or eight years old, as this is widely considered the age of reason for children. Those who have made the decision to join the Catholic faith may receive communion for the time when they have first met all the Church's requirements. While beautiful jewelry and elegant clothing are an important part, there is much, much more to a child's first communion than the pretty dress and a party. While it is cause for celebration, that is not the primary meaning of the occasion. The event means that the child has studied and understood the mystery of transubstantiation, the changing of the substance of ordinary bread and wine into the substance of Christ's body and blood. Markers and physical keepsakes are reminder of this understanding.
