Confirmation Gifts and Traditions Inspired By Faith
From The Precious Moments Blog
Confirmation gifts and traditions need to be carefully chosen so that they truly celebrate the deep meaning of this defining moment in the lives of Christian boys and girls. While the timing and the meaning of holy confirmation may differ among Christian faiths, most Christians believe that confirmation confers special gifts from the Holy Spirit that help us reinforce the faithful covenant created by baptism.
