Why use 7 Jordan almonds in communion favors?

Seven Jordan almonds are traditionally used in communion favors to symbolize the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. Each almond represents a different aspect of faith and blessings, such as love, joy, prosperity, health, happiness, fertility, and long life. The combination of the sweet almonds and the bittersweet taste of the sugar coating reflects the dual nature of life, encompassing both joy and sorrow. This custom adds a meaningful touch to the celebration, linking the event to deeper spiritual significance.
