Firmung, also known as Confirmation, is a significant sacrament in the Christian faith, particularly within the Catholic Church. It typically occurs during adolescence, following the sacrament of Baptism. During this ceremony, individuals affirm their faith and receive the Holy Spirit, strengthening their commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The process of Firmung often includes preparation classes, where candidates learn about their faith and the responsibilities that come with being confirmed. The sacrament is usually administered by a bishop, who lays hands on the candidates and anoints them with chrism, a special oil, symbolizing their spiritual growth and maturity in the Christian community.
