Beautiful picture, Amélie.

Off Topic: What age do you make your Confirmation there? In Ireland, it's twelve.

Well, in the Catholic faith, confirmation is the sacrament proceeds your first Communion. It is basically where you take the burden of looking after your own religious life, and it is no longer looked after by your godparents. In essence what you are doing, is confirming your faith.

Of course, in asking Amélie that question, i was working under the assumption, she was Catholic, if there are any other religions which still have Confirmation I apologise, but I believe that Lutherans and Calvinists dropped most of the sacraments. Of course, the predominant religion of Lithuania is Catholicism, so it was a (pretty) safe assumption.

No, the age is set, but seems to be different in different countries.

You are Catholic before your Confirmation, just not considered responsible for your own faith.

Anyway, let's leave the religion out of it for now, I wouldn't want this thread to be closed because of me.

Religion.... never heard of it.

In the beginning there was darkness,
Then there was light!
Then there was some more darkness,
Then it was light again!
Then the Humans arrived...

...and it rained.
