If you held your hands in the prayer position, the priest said "The body and blood of Christ", you answered "Amen" and opened your mouth, and the priest dipped the wafer in wine and placed it on your tongue. I had never seen this practice before, and after Mass I got an explanation out of my father.
So now that we've completely derailed this thread... LOL

My church does Intinction. I like it that way.
