Figure 1.--Here we see a First Communion group in a Madagascar village with a nun. We do not yet know much about First Communion in Madagascar. The country was a French colony and thus the Catholic Church is important. For some reason the group is mostly girls. They wear the traditional white dresses. The lone boy wears a white shirt with dark trousers. |
We do not have much information on Africa in HBC. This is primarily because there seem to be relatively few computer users in Africa because of the generally low income levels. Thus there are few readers to provide us information and images. We do note a First Communion group in a Madagascar village. We do not yet know much about First Communion in Madagascar. The country was a French colony and thus the Catholic Church is important. For some reason the group is mostly girls. They wear the traditional white dresses. The lone boy wears a white shirt with dark trousers. The children look a little older than the European children doing First Communion, unless the nun is very short.
