A sacrament is a rite or ceremony instituted by Jesus, and observed by the church as a means of or visible sign of grace. The English word sacrament is from the Latin sacramentum, which means to make holy, or to consecrate. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox indentify seven secraments, while most Protestant denominations give special significance to only two as specifically ordained in Scripture, Baptism and Communion.

| - A sacrament is a rite or ceremony instituted by Jesus, and observed by the church as a means of or visible sign of grace. The English word sacrament is from the Latin sacramentum, which means to make holy, or to consecrate. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox indentify seven secraments, while most Protestant denominations give special significance to only two as specifically ordained in Scripture, Baptism and Communion. Sacraments are ceremonial in nature, which separates them from other things that Jesus instructed us to do (e.g. "go and make disciples of all nations" Matthew 28:18) that are practical and naturally effective. Sacraments, in contrast, are effective by inward and supernatural means.
