AB The  present  paper  discusses  two  Polish  film  documentaries  taking  up  the  subject  of  First  Communion: Pamiętaj abyś dzień święty święcił (Remember to Keep Holy the Lord’s Day,2008) by Maciej Cuske, and Komunia (Communion, 2016) by Anna Zamecka. Both films reflect on contem-porary Polish religiosity and on the social functioning and perception of the sacrament and ritual of First Communion. They also address the issues of the social and mental maturity of the child receiv-ing the sacrament, and the ceremony’s significance for the life of the family. The paper analyses and interprets  the  films  as  the  directors’  personal  commentaries,  as  chronicles  of  individual  stories,  and as attempts at social diagnoses.
