Confirmation is a sacrament of the Christian religion that brings the believer closer to the Church by making him the true witness of Jesus Christ. It’s really an important event in the spiritual life of young adults and a happy time to celebrate with relatives and friends.
In the spiritual life of young Christians, a few years after receiving First Communion, comes the time of Confirmation: the Sacrament that makes us perfect Christians. It is precisely why this is also called Confirmation, because it confirms and strengthens the grace received in Baptism.
Preparation catechism generally lasts about two years and begins at the third year of middle school. The Rite of Confirmation consists in the anointment of the forehead with the Sacred Chrysanthemum, mixed with balm and consecrated by the Bishop, pronouncing the sacramental words of the rite.
Those who receive the Sacrament of Confirmation must be accompanied by a godfather or godmother, whose task is to ensure that once confirmed, the young man will act as true witness of Christ.
The godfather and godmother must be not only trusted people but a true example of faith. Therefore, it’s essential that they are Catholics who have received the sacraments of Baptism, the Confirmation and the Eucharist, who have reached the age of 16 and who lead a life that is in conformity with the faith and office they are engaged in.
The rite of Confirmatin is certainly a very important moment, so it’s essential that even the festivities are organized in the slightest details. Here are three tips to perfectly celebrate:
1. Use the white color for fittings and decorations. The white will remember the sacredness of the moment giving a touch of elegance and style. To be interchanged with pastel colors.
2. Choose solidarity favors, for example, those proposed by an NGO or charity association. Or opt for DIY, a creative way to give confetti to the guests.
3. Celebrating in the open air. As the date of confirmation is almost always programmed in the spring or late summer, there is nothing better than sharing this holiday in contact with nature. An ideal solution for children and adults.
