Until the 12th century, it was also the practice in the Roman Catholic Church to give First Holy Communion to infants in the form of wine, but by the time of the Renaissance most Roman Catholics did not receive First Holy Communion until the start of adolescence, when they were about eleven years of age. This changed in 1910 when Pope Pius X (now Saint Pius X) lowered the age for receiving First Communion to the age of reason, reckoned to be about seven years of age.
