Confirmation is a sacrament, a ritual or a service performed by man. The word actually means a strengthening, meaning to deepen your relationship with God. These practices are usually used in faiths that believe in infant baptism. However, Confirmation usually comes later in life when a child reaches the age of accountability, which varies among the individual faiths that practice confirmation. Confirmation typically involves a time of training in God's Word and Christian doctrine, followed by an examination and / or recitation of what has been learned.
Confirmation is the Christian rite in which the initiation into the church that takes place by confirmation is confirmed. In the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Eastern churches, it is a sacrament by which a Christian is strengthened in his faith. In the Lutheran and Anglican churches it is universally used, but it is sometimes not a sacrament. In the East, the Priest makes the confirmation on the newly baptized person of any age. In the West it is ordinarily an Episcopal function, and the recipient has reached a canonical age of discretion. In the Latin Rite, the bishop is the ordinary minister of Confirmation but priests may confirm in certain circumstances when authorized by the bishop. More About Religious Confirmation . . . .
