Embroidered Gift for First Communion

My family is very religious and very Christian. We practice traditions together. In the Catholic community, people at the age of 6 have their First Communion. There they eat bread, which is the body of Christ. They drink wine, which is the blood of Christ. When I was 6 years old, I had my First Communion. As a gift, my grandmother, Ev, gave me an embroidered sign that said my name, “First Communion”, and the date.  The gift makes me happy and shows that I will always have Christ when I need him, and he will always be there to help me when I am feeling down. The embroidery hangs up in my room and is always there. If I had never had my First Communion my life would be very different. This item shows what I believe in, and what I believe in has changed my life for the better.
