Confirmation is a rite used in many Christian Churches. Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and other Oriental Churches, as well as some Anglicans view it as a sacrament. In the East it is conferred on infants immediately after baptism, while in the West it is usually conferred later. Those Protestant churches which use the rite tend to see it rather as a mature statement of faith by a person already baptised, usually an adolescent, and thus as a rite of passage.
