Two priests could be seen waiting for congregants to lower their hands before distributing Holy Communion on the tongue at the Vatican’s Palm Sunday Mass.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Livestream footage from Palm Sunday Mass on St. Peter’s Square shows two priests refusing to distribute the Holy Eucharist in the hands of two congregants.

During the distribution of Holy Communion (viewable in the video below from 1:43:47-1:44:00), two priests can be seen distributing Communion to multiple Mass attendees on the tongue before another two faithful, almost simultaneously, approached with their hands outstretched. Each priest paused and waited for the congregants to lower their hands, then proceeded to distribute the hosts on their tongues.

I remember hearing it is sometimes denied in the Vatican and Rome because some people want to use the host as a souvenir. I don’t really blame them, to be honest.
