Meanings of Childrens Religious Ceremonies
Naming The Jewish naming ceremony for female children is traditionally known as zeved habat. It is a celebration of blessing and deliverance and a prayer for good fortune for the child. This naming ceremony traditionally takes place on the first Shabbat after the birth. First Communion First communion is a predominantly Roman Catholic ceremony in which a child first receives the sacrament of the Eucharist, i.e. communion, in fulfillment of Christ's instructions at the Last Supper. First communion is preceded by baptism and confession, and signifies that the child has attained an age of reason and is able to take part in the church's sacramental life. Confirmation Confirmation is a Christian sacrament that in most denominations is administered to older children of an age anywhere between seven and sixteen years. Confirmation is sometimes known as chrismation. It is commonly seen as a sacrament of religious maturity and of the imparting of the Holy Spirit. |
