Holy Communion, also known as the Eucharist, is a sacrament in which believers consume bread and wine, symbolizing the body and blood of Christ, as a means of spiritual nourishment and union with Jesus. In contrast, Confirmation is a sacrament that strengthens a person's faith and involves the laying on of hands, often following a period of preparation, signifying their commitment to the Church and the Holy Spirit. While both are important rites within Christianity, Holy Communion focuses on the reception of grace through the Eucharist, whereas Confirmation emphasizes the affirmation of faith and full initiation into the Church community.
