Confirmation is a religious sacrament in which individuals publicly affirm their faith and receive special blessings from clergy members. It is commonly practiced in Catholicism and signifies an individual's commitment to their beliefs.
Confirmation can be compared to getting your driver's license. Just like obtaining your license confirms your ability to drive independently, confirmation confirms your commitment to your faith and allows you to participate fully in religious practices.
