Sacraments of Christianity : Jesus framed some rules of life which are called ‘Sacraments’. There are seven sacraments in number. Saint Augustine expresses the consecration of sacraments in the 5th century in this way. Sacrament is the prayer of internal God and glory or supernatural exhibition. In sacraments, the churches were described as symbols of Jesus and emphasized their adherence to daily life. 

These are following :

  • Naming : This sacrament is known as Baptism. When the child becomes 3 years old, the priest sprinkles holy water and keeps his name. It is known as naming sacrament and by this sacrament the child becomes a follower of Christian religion. This is the sacrament to declare any person a Christian. 
  • Authentication : It is also known as ‘confirmation’ sacrament. When the child becomes 12 years old his name is publically declared. It is known as Authentication sacrament, it confirms his identity as Christian. 
  • The God’s meal: Jesus had his last meal with his twelve followers before his death. On this day the Christian people observe a sacred festival. All dine together. 
  • Atonement : According to Christianity, if a sinner confesses and asks forgiveness with the priest in front of Jesus for his sins and then turns away from the bad deeds, God forgives him. Confession or acceptance of sins and ‘penance’ completes the rite of atonement. 
  • Last Path : Under this a person who is dying is given a final sacred bath so that the earthly stains of his soul are removed. 
  • Initiation : It is also known as ordination. If a person is above the age of 18 years old and wants to become a priest, he is initiated. It is known as ‘ordination’ or initiation sacrament. 
  • Marriage : It this sacrament men and women enter into domestic life by accepting marital bondage.
