Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

First Holy Communion is a big celebration in Poland, usually a party after the church service. Probably very similar to what everyone does in the USA. My grandson will be

having his First Communion this May also and I got him a really nice figurine of a boy kneeling as a rememberance, my Mom got him a rosary that she purchased in the Holy Land...for a little girl there are so many neat gifts you can pick up here...and also Cash is always welcomed..kids love Cash.

If you have any local Polish stores in your area, they usually have Polish First Communion Cards. Or you can check online for Polish Cards/Gifts or you can wait till you

get to Poland and meet the little girl and get to know what she likes.
