Continuing the theme of First Communion and the exchange of posts with my reader Aleksandra, here is a close-up picture of me on my First Communion Day, December 6, 1964.
My mother made the dress, but the veil was store-bought (and later worn by my two sisters for their First Communions). I can see in the photo that I am holding a prayer book and a rosary, which were probably gifts, and I also appear to be wearing a necklace, probably a religious medal. I did get a little "remembrance" pamphlet (images of it are pictured below), but I don't remember getting something really cool like a wristwatch, as Aleksandra did in Poland!

You look so very pretty and happy! The dress was beautiful as well. The rosary and prayer book were blessed during the First Communion ceremony. I like your folded remembrance item :-) cute :-)
