A 'communicant' is a member of a church who is entitled to receive Holy Communion. It's someone who has been formally admitted into full membership of a church. Think of them as a registered and active participant in religious rituals. In some denominations, this might require confirmation or a similar rite of passage. They actively practice their faith, going to church, praying, and observing holy days.
The word 'communicant' comes from the Latin 'communicans,' the present participle of 'communicare,' meaning 'to share, impart, or participate.' It refers to someone who shares in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
In 'The Chronicles of Narnia,' Lucy is a young girl with unwavering faith. She is like a 'communicant,' fully embracing the magic and wonder of Narnia, even when others doubt it. She participates in its rituals, battles its enemies, and remains devoted to Aslan. Just like a communicant in real life, Lucy's faith is her strength and guides her actions.
