The First to Commune: A Tribute to the Virgin Mary

The song 'A Primeira Que Comungou' by Toca de Assis is a heartfelt tribute to the Virgin Mary, emphasizing her pivotal role in the Christian faith. The lyrics celebrate Mary as the first to receive Jesus into her heart, symbolizing her unique and sacred connection to the divine. This connection is highlighted through the metaphor of communion, where Mary is depicted as the first to partake in the holy sacrament, thus setting a precedent for all believers.

The song also underscores Mary's role as the first to announce the coming of Jesus, drawing a parallel to her visit to Elizabeth, which led to the birth of John the Baptist, the prophet. This act of faith and proclamation is seen as the foundation of Christian evangelism. The lyrics further illustrate Mary's significance by referring to her as the 'capela do Santíssimo' (chapel of the Most Holy) and the 'sacrário do amor' (tabernacle of love), emphasizing her as a vessel of divine love and presence.

Moreover, the song portrays the adoration of the Magi as the 'first great exposition,' with Mary at the center, presenting Jesus to the world. This imagery reinforces the idea of Mary as the 'first monstrance of the Lord,' a sacred vessel displaying the divine. The repeated plea for Mary to 'expose for us Your son' reflects a deep yearning for spiritual guidance and connection to Jesus through her intercession. Toca de Assis, known for their devotional and contemplative music, uses these rich metaphors and religious imagery to create a profound and reverent homage to the Virgin Mary, inviting listeners to reflect on her essential role in the Christian narrative.
