Confirmation is a sacrament, ritual or rite of passage practised by several Christian denominations. The word means strengthening or deepening one's relationship with God. It enables a baptised person to confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism. It is also a sign of full membership to the Christian community.
The roots of the practice of confirmation are found in the Acts of the Apostles:
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,
who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them;
they had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:14-17
