TS Culture | The catholic religion in LA and its sacraments

This is a typical church ⛪

It's very common to see the representation of crucifixion symbol where Jesus has died after a long suffering for the sake of humankind sinners, according to the knowledge provided by the the active members that practice catholicism. You can notice the priest carrying out a ritual event called 'Misa' at the bottom of the building, which duration is around one hour and people take the opportunity to have supper with the Lord on body (bread) and blood (wine) at the Eucharistic meeting.

Facade of a Catholic church

There's at least seven sacraments in the mentioned religion that is popular in Latin America, where the first one, baptism, is taking place when someone is barely a small baby being embalming with blessed water at his/her little head and godfathers must be present to guide her/him at the holy path in the real life. Then, once grew up, first Holy Communion is necessary before the kids to be reaching the high school grade. Well, this was my particular case when I had my teenager's age. Confirmation is the reinforcement of commitment to stay loyal to the catholicism, now Penance or confession of sins is the next one and Extreme Unction is also celebrated, moreover of Holy Orders.

The images representing religious characters

No doubt about marriage too as one of the 7 sacraments in this religion. Here, bride is wearing a beautiful white dress to represent purity and virginity with that color, just like the presence of Mary, the character in story of Jesus Christ as his "mother", who conceived him by the grace of Holy Spirit with no sexual relationship. Not so strange to find her showed as something sacred including several prays that can be recited with the help of a particular necklace nominated as "Rosary", a crafted one with distributed beads that serves for each repetition of praying based in her name, the Hail Marys.
