26 Best Confirmation Gifts to Celebrate a Very Special Sacrament
Meaningful keepsakes for boy and girls who are taking the next step on their spiritual journey.
For many who are part of Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, they will go through what is called the Christian Initiation, where a person is introduced to their religion and acknowledges their relationship with Jesus Christ.
As a baby, they will be baptized. Then, around 6 or 7, they will have their first holy communion. When they reach their age of adolescence (at least in Western cultures), another sacrament that is performed is the confirmation, also sometimes called a chrismation. It's at this point when Catholics confirm their commitment to God.
While not every type of Christian denomination has a confirmation, for those who do, it's very important. Representing your commitment to God and your religion as you enter your adulthood, it usually occurs in their teen years. This important rite of passage echoes many of the themes of baptism, but involves taking religious classes and other Bible-focused pre-requisites leading up to it.
Once the confirmation happens, it is then celebrated by a party or gift. The best confirmation gifts, whether given by sponsors, parents, or grandparents, are spiritual in nature, like jewelry with a cross or a keepsake box with a Bible passage. Take a look below for those ideas and more to help you honor the important day in the child's life.
