First Communion is a ceremony in some Christian traditions during which a person first receives the Eucharist.

The Rosary (pronunciation: /ˈrəʊz(ə)ri/, in the sense of "crown of roses" or "garland of roses"), usually in the form of the Dominican Rosary, is a form of prayer used especially in the Catholic Church named for the string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers.

When used of the form of prayer, the word is usually capitalized ("the Rosary"), as is customary for other names of prayers, such as "the Lord's Prayer", "the Hail Mary", "the Magnificat".

When referring to the beads, it is normally written with a lower-case initial ("a rosary").

A sacrament is a Christian rite recognised as of particular importance and significance.

There are various views on the existence and meaning of such rites.

Sacraments signify God's grace in a way that is outwardly observable to the participant.
