Holy Communion at a local church, Baucau

2014-08-13 8

The video shows Christian people at a local church (Baucau, East Timor) receiving Holy Communion form the priest at the Holy Mass.

"Holy Communion" is the reception of the Blessed Sacrament (the Eucharist) that has been sanctified by a priest during the Holy Mass.
The Eucharist or Holy Communion must be received at least once a year, during the Easter Season, by those who've reached the age of reason, though frequent -- even daily -- Communion is encouraged. Traditionally, the Eucharist shouldn't be received more than once a day unless it is given as Viaticum during Extreme Unction (the 1983 Code of Canon Law strangely allows for a second reception of the Eucharist "only within a Eucharistic celebration in which that person participates.") The matter of the Sacrament itself are wheat bread made only of flour and water, with nothing added (no honey, no spices, etc; nothing may be added. The use of leavening in the Latin Church is illicit) and wine fermented from grape juice.

Baucau is the second-largest city in East Timor, after Dili, the capital, which lies 122 km east of Dili. Baucau has about 16,000 inhabitants, and is the capital of Baucau, located in the eastern part of the country. In the times of Portuguese Timor, Baucau was called Vila Salazar, after the Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar.
