Italian First Communion: Rosaria Russo (1965)
Figure 1.-- The photo was taken in San Pietro a Patierno, near Naples, in 1965. The girl's name is Rosaria Russo. She received the First Communion and the Chrismation (Confirmation). Unill 1960s sometimes the children received both sacraments at the same time. Since 1970s it became common that the children receive the First Communion and some years later the Christmation. The girl had this photo taken after the ceremony with her aunt, uncle, and cousin. The girl is wearing the classic junior wedding white ceremony dress. The boy is wearing white short sleeves shirt and shorts. He wears open toe sandals with white ankle socks. That looks now a bit strange, but at the time it was seen as more formal than sandals without socks.
