Interesting hijack! Our parish gives the Eucharist by intinction - the wafer is dipped in the wine and then placed on the tongue (my boys wield a mean paten). So those receiving usually kneel (!) with their hands held together in the traditional prayer position and open their mouths as the priest/deacon approaches. I always go up for a blessing - can't have too many blessings - as I have to get an annulment before I can be a 100 percenter. While I have finished most of my paperwork, current husband hasn't even begun on his, so I'm in an earthly limbo of sorts.
