Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]
As I know, children receive a rosary and a prayer book from the priest in advance, parents pay for that.
You're exaggerating a little, but to be sure I'll check it in a week time:-)
In this case you're right, a quad is also welcomed:-) anyway, I buy a mp4 for my nephew, I hope he'll enjoy it.
I got a prayer book a rosary and a wooden plaque with Jesus on - but that was a long time a go, I think I too would have preferred jewellery a little silver jewellery box with the date and event incribed on would be nice.

The girls are dressed in very expensive almost bride-like creations, look like models, some wear make-up and fabulous hairdos, hair gets permed and highlighted, their ears get pierced, the boys wear expensive wool suits. Even the parents dress extravagantly, some wearing fur coats.
You're exaggerating a little, but to be sure I'll check it in a week time:-)
Communion gifts are equally expensive, such as computers, bicycles, watches, gold rings and other toys. Spreading hatred and jelousy among the poorer parents and making them feel "ashamed".
