7. What are the 7 Sacraments and why are they important? Provide as much detail as you can find.

A Pilgrimage is a religious journey. The book Canterbury Tales was written by Geoffrey Chaucer and is about a group of people from different social classes traveling to England as pilgrims. On the way to England, everybody in the group trades stories. The seven sacraments are Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy matrimony and Holy Orders. Baptism is when someone is initiated into the Christian church. First Communion is when you receive the body and blood of Christ. Reconciliation is when you ask for forgiveness for your sins. Confirmation is when you are anointed with the holy spirit. Anointing of the Sick is when you are blessed to become prepared for the coming of the afterlife. Holy matrimony is when you become united with another person in the eyes of God. Holy Orders is when you become part of the sister/brotherhood. The seven sacraments were important because that was important so they would have a good afterlife.
