Sounds like a buffet!

I'm not familiar with the term "intinction" so I looked it up and learned that it refers to the practice of dipping the wafer in the wine and then offering it to the recipient. I received communion once in this manner, back when I was Catholic, but it's very unusual. Usually the bread and wine are presented separately. When you receive a communion wafer, the priest or eucharistic minister can put it into your hands or onto your tongue. You indicate which you prefer by either holding out your hands or opening your mouth. When you receive wine, everyone drinks from the same chalice. The priest or eucharistic minister hands you the chalice, you take a sip and hand it back, and the priest or eucharistic minister wipes the rim of the chalice before presenting it to the next person.
