What are some sybols of confirmation?

Answer 1

A dove is the main symbol. But a flame may also be a symbol because on Pentecost the Holy Spirit came to the diciples as tongues of flames above their heads. The laying on of hands, wind, candle and Sacred Chrism all represent the Holy Spirit, whom we receive in Confirmation.

Catholic Answer"The imposition of hands is rightly recognized by the Catholic tradition as the origin of the sacrament of Confirmation, which in a certain way perpetuates the grace of Pentecost in the Church." (Paul VI, Civinae consortium naturae, 659; cf. Acts 8:15-17; 19:5-6; Heb 6:2) Anointing with oil has all the meanings that it carried previously in secular society, the post-baptismal anointing with sacred Chrism in confirmation and ordination is the sign of consecration, by this anointing the confirmand receive the "mark", the seal of the Holy Spirit. The essential rite of the sacrament follows in the epiclesis, "the sacrament of Confirmation is conferred through the anointing with Chrism on the forehead, which is done by the laying on of the hand, and through the words: 'Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti' [Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit]." (Paul VI, apostolic constitution, Divinae consortium naturae, 663) (extracted from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994)AnswerI am doing confirmation right now and there are 4 symbols.
