Why was Confirmation created?

Our Blessed Lord gave us seven sacraments, three of these are the "sacraments of initiation." They are Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist. Confirmation is the "second half" of Baptism, if you will, it completes Baptism, and in the early Church was always given together with Baptism. It is still given at the same time in all Rites of the Church except the Latin Rite. In the Latin Rite is is deferred until an age determined by the Bishop, usually between 12 and 16. The "why" is because Our Blessed Lord gave it to us.
