Every Christian now has to think about the question of the frequency of communion. In many churches, from Soviet times, the practice of not taking communion on Easter and Bright Week has remained, but in many, on the contrary, the priest advises parishioners to take the Holy Chalice as often as possible, especially on holy days. What does the Church say about this? What canons exist that determine the frequency of a believer’s participation in this Sacrament? This book explains the need for frequent communion, giving detailed justification from the works of the Holy Fathers and the canons of the Church.
