Gifts for Sacred Rites of Passage
Wednesday, 4/16/2008 By Michele Chan Santos
Spring is the season not only of Easter but also of First Communions and confirmations. For little girls, the major purchase related to their First Communion (also called the First Holy Eucharist)
is the celebratory white dress. MyGirlDress.com (also a good site for flower girl dresses, junior bridesmaid outfits and ring bearer tuxedos) has several of these pretty, long-skirted, white lacy dresses. The cap-sleeve Communion dress has a satin bodice and triple-layered tulle skirt ($59.50). A tea-length satin trim dress with organza skirt (pictured) has an adorable flower waistband and sash ($43.50). Sacco Company sells a wide variety of religious gifts and accessories. A First Communion Bible with a special prayer section comes in blue or pink ($22.95). The Catholic Company sells an attractive brushed-metal First Communion photo album ($15) and a pewter picture frame ($16), etched with First Communion symbols. For confirmation, Catholic teens traditionally select a saint from whom to take their confirmation name, and a medal of that saint in gold or sterling silver, with a chain, makes a nice present. The Catholic Company’s catalog of saint medals has medal and chain combinations priced from $28 to $50. Abbey Press has a nice etched glass Confirmation plaque, decorated with a cross and dove ($30). Appropriate for both boys and girls, this Confirmation bracelet includes a pewter accent on a black cord ($12).
