The Sacraments of Initiation are: Baptism, First Holy Communion (Eucharist), and Confirmation.
The symbol for Baptism is Water which symbolizes the washing away of our sins.
The symbols for the Eucharist are wheat and grapes or bread and wine because these are the gifts that are offered up by the Priest during Mass, and the elements that become the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord when they are consecrated.
The symbols for Confirmation are fire and a Dove both representing the Holy Ghost.
The image of a Dove comes from Our Lord's Baptism in Luke:
"Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened; And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." (Luke 3:21-22)
The image of fire comes from Pentecost in the Acts of the Apostles:
"And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak." (Acts 2:1-4)
