Is it legal in Maryland for a parent to give their own child alcohol in their own house?

Please state a source.

It is legal. The crime of furnishing alcohol to a minor (§10–117) in the state of Maryland has several exceptions. It is legal to give alcohol or allow it to be consumed by a minor so long as:
-You are members of same immediately family and you are in a private residence
-it is part of a religious ceremony

I have provided a link to the actual law for your verification. I can tell you that I lived in Maryland as a child and my family was Roman Catholic. Catholics give wine during mass every Sunday to those who have passed First Communion (age 7-8). It is only a tiny sip. Furthermore, my parents often allowed me to have a quarter glass of wine during Easter or Christmas dinner. I rarely finished, but there was nothing wrong with it. When I grew up, alcohol had no stigma nor sense of the forbidden, and therefore I felt no need to drink at all during my teen years, nor do I have much interest in drinking as an adult.
