Infant communion
Infant Communion (also Paedocommunion) refers to the practice of giving the Eucharist, often in the form of consecrated wine, to infants and children. This practice is standard in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches; here, communion is given at the Divine Liturgy to all baptized and chrismated church members regardless of age.
