| Summary: | The present paper discusses two Polish film documentaries taking up the subject of First Communion: Pamiętaj abyś dzień święty święcił (Remember to Keep Holy the Lord’s Day,2008) by Maciej Cuske, and Komunia (Communion, 2016) by Anna Zamecka. Both films reflect on contem-porary Polish religiosity and on the social functioning and perception of the sacrament and ritual of First Communion. They also address the issues of the social and mental maturity of the child receiv-ing the sacrament, and the ceremony’s significance for the life of the family. The paper analyses and interprets the films as the directors’ personal commentaries, as chronicles of individual stories, and as attempts at social diagnoses. |
