Communion season

Communion season is a time when people in some religions come together to eat a special snack and remember important things. The snack usually includes a small piece of bread or cracker, and a small cup of juice or wine. These snacks are called "communion elements."

During communion season, people might go to church more often than usual. They might wear special clothes and sing special songs. When it's time for the snack, everyone takes turns going up to the front of the church to get a communion element. Then, everyone eats the snack together.

This season is very important because it helps people remember something very special. They remember that a long time ago, a man named Jesus had a special meal with his friends before something very important happened to him. By eating the snack together, people remember that Jesus gave his life for them, and they are grateful for what he did.
