“There is no doubt that an
unforgettable meeting with Jesus is First Holy Communion, a day to be remembered
as one of life’s most beautiful.”
“The Eucharist, instituted by
Christ at the Last Supper on the night before His passion, is a sacrament of the
New Covenant--the greatest of the sacraments. In this sacrament, the Lord
becomes food for the soul under the appearances of bread and wine.“
“Children receive this
sacrament solemnly a first time--in First Holy Communion--and are encouraged to
receive it afterward as often as possible in order to remain in close friendship
with Jesus…”
“Every boy and every girl
belonging to a Catholic family knows all about this custom. First Holy Communion
is a great family celebration…The day of First Holy Communion is also a great
day of celebration in the parish…”
Pope John Paul, from his
“Letter to Children” regarding the significance of First Holy Communion during
the “Year of the Family” in 1994
First Communions are
celebrations for receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus for the first time. But
the celebration should not end after the first time. Every reception of Jesus in
the Eucharist is the most profound and precious gift we will ever receive on
earth. At Genesis 3:15 Creations we create beautiful First Communion
gifts which can refresh our hearts with the awe and wonder of that
first time.
Just as every Catholic boy
and girl knows all about this day, they can also tell you many details about
their special day years later. Things such as their first thoughts upon waking,
what they wore, family and friends who attended mass with them, how they felt
upon receiving their First Communion. Throughout their lives, they will not only
carry these memories, but also they will keep pictures, cards and communion
gifts given to them to commemorate this most special of days. Praying with a
special rosary that was given as a communion gift or wearing a crucifix necklace
or First Communion charm bracelet reminds them of the purity and joy they
experienced during their first meeting with Christ. At Genesis 3:15 Creations,
we remember how precious these communion gifts were and still are to us and our
children. That is why we want to offer unique, handmade creations for this
special day.
At Genesis 3:15 Creations, we
lovingly handcraft Catholic jewelry for every sacramental occasion. We have
communion presents for boys and girls, as well as adolescents and adults that
are receiving this sacrament. From traditional Czech glass or crystal rosaries
to bracelets, we have something for everyone!
Our traditional Swarovski 6
mm clear aurora borealis bicone-shaped crystal and 6 mm white pearl rosary makes
a lovely keepsake to commemorate that special day! This piece features 8mm
Swarovski bicone crystal "Our Father" beads that are accentuated by
high-quality, lead-free pewter spacer beads. Strung on nylon-coated,
multi-strand, flexible stainless steel wire, this rosary eliminates the
possibility of broken links. A communion-themed crucifix and a chalice center
complete this breath-taking item.The male counterpart is crafted with jet black
and vitrail Czech glass beads.
An alternative for a Baptism
Gift is a beautiful keepsake rosary bracelet. This lovely bracelet features five
sterling silver charms: crucifix, praying girl, chalice, Jesus the Good
Shepherd, and Miraculous Medal, interwoven with Swarovski crystal and pearl, and
sterling silver spacers. This bracelet will not only be a treasured gift for the
First Communicant, but will become a family heirloom to be passed down
throughout the generations.
We also offer a special,
one-of-a-kind remembrance, as unique as the individual. This First Holy
Communion bracelet, an alternating pattern of 4 mm magnetic white pearls and
Swarovski bicone-shaped aurora borealis crystal surrounding the First
Communicant's name and First Communion date, provides such a remembrance. Two
sterling silver charms, a chalice and a crucifix, are placed on both sides of
the name and date.
Additionally, this unique
First Communion necklace, that combines Swarovskipearls and clear aurora
borealis crystal with silver Czech glass beads, makes quite a statement. A
Sterling Silver First Holy Communion Disc, suspended from a spiral coil of
decorative wire, completes this beautiful piece.
These communion
gifts will be used for years to come!
