Sir, – I am a writer, researching the Communion dress in Ireland for a book. I am keen to discover familial stories that illustrate a mother’s love, poignant, witty or even tragic, which relate to the Communion dress. I would love to hear stories of sacrifice, sentimentality or family tradition; themes at the heart of this symbolic item of clothing.
If you have a story or a historical record you would be happy to share, along with a photograph of the Communion dress in your story, I would be grateful to hear from you at abbigilbourne@gmail.com.
– Yours, etc,
ABBI GILBOURNE,
