What are the christian symbols for confirmation and marriage?

Symbols? Dont think there are any. Confirmation is when the Bishop lays hands on your head and prays for the holy Spirit to empower you for Christian service, as in Acts. It is when you decide to take on the vows your parents made on your behalf at infant baptism. ie decide you want to dedicate your life to Jesus.


Christian marriage is a woman and man deciding to commit themselves solely to each other for life. (no Adam and Steve!!)What are the christian symbols for confirmation and marriage?
the thumbs up for confirmation and I think the symbol for marriage is a ball and chain.What are the christian symbols for confirmation and marriage?
Confirmation is the majurity you got to know about the God and the world.


Marriage is the sacramand and purity. Romans 7:2


For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
There aren't any actual 'Christian symbols' as such (if you're thinking of things like the cross or the icthus) for those- but you'd probably find a dove or flame used quite a lot (as they're often used to represent the Holy Spirit) on things like Confirmation cards and anything that signifies unity or eternity could be used for marriage (like the rings- the circle representing eternity). The dove is also quite common as a symbol of peace- and it often appears on wedding cards.
