Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage home movie captures a young girl making her Holy Communion in a church in Danville, Illinois. The footage, bathed in a deep purple and blue tint, shows the solemn ceremony with candles lit on the altar and floral arrangements. The grainy, nostalgic quality of the Super 8 film enhances the intimate, personal feel of this religious milestone. The scene is quiet and reverent, with the girl and others in formal attire participating in the sacred rite.
