Eliana’s First Communion

A view of Eliana's hair. She didn't want to wear a veil, but decided on a "Crown of Braids." Braided into her hair is lace from my mother's wedding veil. (She also wore the lace wrapped around her wrist as a bracelet and around her waist like a belt.) She was so excited for this night!








 Eliana received her First Holy Communion earlier this week. Like many things, this sacrament was delayed due to Coronavirus. Luckily, she was able to celebrate this mass the day before school started. She has eagerly been anticipating this sacrament all year (for years really) and was so reverent when she received Communion for the first time. Her joy is infectious and a wonderful reminder of the sacredness of this sacrament. 

To celebrate, we had ice cream after mass. While we would have liked to have a big party, we couldn't. But we did have a "party" with her cousins via Zoom while eating cookies.
