First Holy Communion Gift – Personalized Pocket Keepsake Devotional
Delight your First Holy Communicant or First Communion class with a personalized keepsake they will treasure.

With gilded edges and a compact size (approximately 4" x 2¾" x ¾"), it fits easily in a pocket or purse as a lasting reminder of their reception of Christ, the source and summit of all grace. Handcrafted in the United States by Catholic artisans.

Some of the symbols in this gift include:
- 12 six-pointed stars: Marian/Apocalyptic symbolism (Rev 12), recalling Mary crowned with twelve stars, while also echoing the twelve tribes of Israel and the Star of David — linking Christ, the Son of David, to the continuity of salvation history.
- Three crosses: The Cross of Christ’s sacrifice, flanked by the good thief and the bad thief, visibly rooting the gift in the Paschal Mystery.
- Wheat and grapes: Humanity’s offering that becomes, through transubstantiation, the very Body and Blood of Christ — a visual catechesis on the Eucharist.
- Eucharistic chalice + Host: Featuring the explicit words of institution (“This is My Body; this is My Blood”), taken directly from the Liturgy of the Eucharist at the moment of transubstantiation.
- Agnus Dei (Lamb of God): Rooted in John 1:29 and invoked at every Mass, paired with the prayer: “Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.”
- Seven book seals beneath the Lamb: Echoing Revelation 5 — the Lamb who alone is worthy to open the scroll and break its seven seals. The image unites the gift to the eschatological victory of Christ.
(Diptychs are especially meaningful here, as they are small enough to carry in a pocket or purse — allowing students to take their devotion with them wherever they go.)

I bought two of these for family members who are receiving their first Holy Communion on Christmas Day this year. I was looking for something unique that would be suitable for a teenage boy and an adult male. These are just perfect and I know my son and his dad will love them. The quality is wonderful and the seller did such a good job on the engraving. He kept me up to date on the progress and shipping at all times. I highly recommend this seller and his products!!!
Outstanding Seller! Provided excellent customer service and communication. The item itself is amazing and we are extremely pleased with it!
Beautiful gift for my Godsons First Communion
What a beautiful gift! The small size makes it a perfect meditation piece of adoration. The gift recipients were impressed by the vibrant colors and intricate detail.
What a great experience! I was looking for a personalized First Communion gift for my son, and ordered from John. He was extremely professional and made sure everything was perfect before completing the plaque. He shipped quickly and it arrived in time for my son's special day. I cannot recommend his work enough!
