- Subject: The Sacramental Symbols
Question: What are the seven sacraments and their symbols?
Answer:
The answer to this question varies slightly. Following are the two generally accepted answers:
BAPTISM: water
CONFIRMATION: A Candle
HOLY ORDERS/ORDINATIONS: A rope
EUCHARIST: The chalice: Bread and Wine
ANOINTING OF THE SICK: Holy oil
PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION: Crucifix
MATRIMONY: An open book
And
Baptism is of course water, Paschal candle, Oil of Catechumens.
Confirmation would be Sacred Chrism and a Bishop
Anointing of the Sick would be Oil of the Infirm and a purple stole
Reconciliation would be the purple stole and a crucifix
Marriage would be two rings and a card with the vows.
Holy Orders would be the Book of the Gospels, a Crucifix
Holy Communion would be a crucifix and a Host and Chalice
