The rite in which young people personally affirm the faith into which they were baptised.
La romano-catolici, Confirmarea (Mirul) se primește de obicei la 12–14 ani. În Bisericile protestante (reformată, evanghelică, unitariană), Confirmarea este un moment solemn al comunității, după o perioadă de învățătură, când tinerii devin membri cu drepturi depline.
