Sacraments

Catholics, like Orthodox Christians, believe there are seven sacraments: baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, matrimony, holy orders, and the anointing of the sick. The first three are also called the sacraments of Christian initiation, and in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox traditions, they are administered together in infancy. In the Latin rite Church, baptism is administered to infants. Still, the first reception of the Eucharist (First Communion) and confirmation are typically delayed until the child has reached the use of reason, generally regarded as about the age of seven. Eastern Catholics and Orthodox usually refer to confirmation as chrismation. Penance is also called the sacrament of reconciliation. The anointing of the sick was called extreme unction when it was only given to those gravely ill or in danger of death. Now, it can be administered to anyone who is seriously or chronically ill.
