Confirmation in Christianity

Confirmation in Christianity is a rite of passage where a person, typically an adolescent or adult, publicly affirms their commitment to their faith and receives the Holy Spirit's strengthening. It builds upon the trust established in baptism and signifies a deeper, personal connection with God. Through this sacrament, believers are blessed with spiritual gifts, guidance, and empowerment to live according to Christian principles. Confirmation often involves the laying on of hands and prayer by a church minister, symbolizing maturity in faith and a readiness to actively participate in the church community.
