Holy Communion is an amazing event for Christians. This covenant allows a child to ingest the body and blood of Christ for the first time. The significance of Holy Communion is huge because Jesus died as a living sacrifice for us, and His body and blood were given to us so we can have eternal life. When we accept Christ as our Savior and understand the commitment and relationship we are building with Him, it is time for Holy Communion.
The exact meaning of communion varies between denominations. However, the Gospels tell us that Jesus is clear about one thing. During the Last Supper, Jesus stated that we are to eat His body and drink His blood, as it has been given up for us!
Experience The Room of Last Supper In The Holy Land
There are many amazing places to visit in the Holy Land. One such place is the room and table where the Last Supper occurred over 2000 years ago. In most cases, children receive Holy Communion in 2nd or 3rd grade, between the ages of 7 and 9. This is a magnificent age to take your child or children on their first pilgrimage or tour of the Holy Land.

First Communion Gifts that Keep Giving
Imagine being baptized or confirming your commitment to Christ with a baptism in the same water where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. It is possible for you and your entire family or group to experience this and reconfirm your commitment to Christ together on a Holy Land Tour. This would be a magnificent gift for the child who recently received Holy Communion. Image the bond your family would experience by going through this awesome commitment experience together!
This video showcases me singing it solo for the very first time. In this video, I refer to my MCHS songbook which was used very, very often during our Lit. Choir days. After joining “Sinta!” when I was in highschool, after being exposed to the passion of the Sibolistas and being inspired by no less than Sir Pagsi himself, I knew that I always wanted to be an Atenean. [No offense to all our green-blooded friends! 
] The composer of “One More Gift” is also a Sibolista who also co-wrote songs with Sir Pagsi. This composer has been a Jesuit for some time already and is also co-founder of Bukas Palad, one of JMM’s musical treasures. He also wrote “Hindi Kita Malilimutan” & “Sa Yo Lamang”. Sige na proud ako eh, kasi aside from all that I’ve mentioned, this same composer also happened to watch one of my gigs when I was starting out. I was so shocked when I found out that it was THE (very humble and very appreciative, might I add) Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ right across our stage. Fr. Manoling, to any of you Sibolistas past and present, our to beloved Sir Pagsi, if you do get a chance to stumble across this video, here’s me & Glisten saying hallo and thank you for being such wonderful inspirations.
