What is the proper way of receiving Communion in the hand?
St. Cyril of Jerusalem in 348 gave this instruction to his congregation: “When you approach Holy Communion, make the left hand into a throne for the right, which will receive the King. With your hand hollowed, receive the Body of Christ and answer ‘Amen’.
It is always helpful to review instructions for receiving Communion. Click here for a handout that can be placed in your bulletin for your parishioner.
