  Catholic Holy Communion is a Catholic Church ceremony in which a person receives the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is a holy communion meal in remembrance of Christ's Last Supper, which was the last meal Christ shared with his disciples before his crucifixion. There are a variety of Catholic Holy Communion gifts including rosaries, crucifixes and jewelry with Catholic symbols such as chalices and crosses.
  
  

Rosaries

• Rosaries are common in the Catholic religion when reciting Holy Rosary prayers. Give rosary gifts to children after their First Holy Communion. Most Catholics regard the rosary as a special prayer and meditation tool of the Catholic faith. Devoted Catholics that pay tribute to the Virgin Mary, Jesus and other saints pray the rosary on a daily basis. A rosary consists of a string of beads and a crucifix, large beads, metal and groups of three and 10 smaller beads that come between the larger beads. Children can use the beads on the rosary to count the prayers; each bead corresponds with a different prayer. Rosary beads come in variety of styles, colors and sizes and often consist of wooden, plastic, semi precious stones, pearl and crystal beads. A string or wire holds the beads, and the rosary features a metal or wooden crucifix that hangs from the rosary.
  
  

Wall Crucifixes and Crosses

• The crucifix is an important symbol of the Catholic faith and depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on a cross. It reminds Catholics of the humiliation and suffering Christ endured for the redemption of humanity. The cross is also very significant in Catholicism because it inherently symbolizes the death and resurrection of Christ. The crucifix and the cross are both common Catholic Holy Communion gifts and come in a variety of styles, sizes and colors. They are made from various materials including metal, brass, bronze and wood, and the First Holy Communion participant can hang it on his wall. Wooden wall crucifixes use olive wood, purple heart wood, cherry wood and maple wood.
  
  

Jewelry

• Jewelry gifts, which the recipient can wear during and after a Catholic Holy Communion ceremony, make a good keepsake that reminds the wearer of this special event in her life. Jewelry gifts come in a variety of styles and jewelry options to choose from, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, patron saint medals and pendants. These pieces consist of different types of materials including metal, sterling silver, gold, precious or semiprecious stones, glass beads, crystals and pearls.
