• Roman Catholic children usually make their First
  Holy Communion at the age of 7 or 8. It is a time
  of great celebration when the candidates usually
  wear white, if they are girls, and receive gifts
  to mark this special passage in their spiritual
  life. Towards the end of his life Napoleon was
  asked which had been the happiest day of his
  life. The questioner expected him to recollect
  one of his great military triumphs or his
  coronation as Emperor, but Napoleon replied, "The
  happiest day of my life was my First Holy
  Communion day." This may give you some idea how
  important this day is to a Catholic.
