Sacraments of initiation

Early Christian baptistery (6th century, Nocera Superiore, Italy)

The sacraments of initiation (also called the “mysteries of initiation”) are the three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist in Nicene Christianity.[1] As such, they are distinguished from the sacraments of healing (Anointing of the sick and Sacrament of Penance)[2] and from the sacraments of service (Marriage and Ordination).[3]
