Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders are all sacraments (= signs) of initiation.
A sacrament is defined as:
- a visible sign,
- instituted by Christ,
- for the transmission of grace.
Baptism (received at any age) brings the grace of God's forgiveness of all personal sins, and erases the trace of Original Sin which we all inherit from Adam and Eve. The baptised person becomes a member of the mystical body of Christ, the Church.
Confirmation (received by one who has attained the age of reason) confers actual graces upon the recipient, who in freely choosing to be confirmed expresses his desire to confirm the choice of baptism that was usually made by his parents. The confirmed person becomes an adult member of the Church.
Holy Orders, which can be conferred only by a bishop, initiates a man into the priesthood of Christ as an ordained minister. He would normally have been ordained a Lector, then a Deacon beforehand, and may subsequently be consecrated a bishop, which is the fullness of the priesthood. Elevation to archbishop or cardinal and even election as Pope are higher honours, but the episcopacy (becoming a bishop) is already the fullness of the priestly state.
A common sign among Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders is the anointing with chrism, which symbolizes the presence of the Holy Spirit and consecration for a special role or purpose within the Church.

Baptism, confirmation, and holy orders are all sacraments in the Catholic Church that confer a permanent mark on the recipient. This mark, also known as a sacramental character, signifies a spiritual seal and can only be received once. It signifies a person's belonging to Christ and their mission within the Church.
The sacred oil used for baptism, confirmation, and holy orders is called chrism oil. This oil is consecrated by a bishop and is used in different sacraments within the Catholic Church to symbolize the presence of the Holy Spirit.
If you mean what are the seven sacraments, then they are Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony (marriage), and Holy Order. If you are not asking that, then I don't know.
Holy oil, also known as chrism oil, is typically used in holy orders. This oil is consecrated by a bishop and is used for anointing during sacraments such as baptism, confirmation, and holy orders in the Catholic Church. It is a mixture of olive oil and balsam, symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit.
In the Catholic Church, the minimum age to receive Holy Orders is 25 for deacons and 35 for priests according to Canon Law. Each denomination or religious tradition may have its own specific age requirements for ordination.
