The sacrament most Catholics receive and least understand.
Seven sections trace the Spirit from the anointing of Israel's kings to the chrism on your forehead: what the seal does, why East and West confirm at different ages, what the seven gifts actually are, and why Confirmation is the opposite of a graduation.
