First Holy Communion veils

May the Month of Mary and June the Month of the Most Sacred Heart, these two beautiful months are usually the sacred time for a little child to make their First Holy Communion. Never was there such a momentous Grace! Receiving Our Lord's Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity for the first time is to be properly and aptly celebrated. 
The joy of preparation and prayers are rewarded with this Most Sacred of Sacraments and from then on until the moment of death, the child communicates with God in a truly deep and profound way.


Many First Holy Communion mantillas will feature a special motif like this embroidered Cross. They can be slightly different to the usual mantilla in their size and are sometimes a little more elaborate for this significant day.

One of the most stunning FHC veils I've found, Spanish lace, full and detailed and just beautiful.




Some girls wear flowers, or a flower band in their hair with a veil attached. This one is of white roses on the top with veil flowing down and roses scattered on the veil. Perfect for First Holy Communion, from Etsy.



A classic white lace mantilla but slightly fuller and longer, from Etsy.




What a perfect veil for a little girl's First Holy Communion.
