The confession of St. Peter as found in the three Synoptic Gospels forms the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. Here Peter proclaims that Jesus is the messiah who was prophesied, “But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.” (Mark 8: 30). From this simple, yet earth shattering statement, the Roman Catholic Church was born. The tenets of a new religion developed. Those who practice the Roman Catholic faith hold these tenets close to their hearts.
The tenets of the Catholic faith have seven sacraments. These sacraments are ceremonies that define the significant sacred moments in a Catholic’s life. They are considered signs and instruments of G-d’s grace and saving presence. These sacred moments are celebrations and milestones for the Catholic. No matter if you practice Catholicism or not, if you are invited to celebrate one of these sacraments thoughtful Roman Catholic gifts would be necessary for the occasion.
Roman Catholic gifts will be a blessing for any of the joyous Catholic occasions. The sacraments in which Catholic gifts would be appropriate include baptisms, first communions, confirmations and weddings. A particularly meaningful gift could come from the Holy Land. There are many options when it comes to Holy Land Christian gifts that would be suitable for a Catholic occasion.
Rosaries made from Holy Land olive wood make wonderful gifts for first communions and confirmations as this is the time a Catholic makes a mature Christian commitment to the church and G-d. Holy Land elements sets which contain Jordan River Water, Galilee Olive Oil & Soil from Jerusalem are thoughtful gifts for baptisms are they make a wonderful keepsake for the child. Finally, for Catholic weddings beautiful decorative ceramic wall hangings featuring the Old City of Jerusalem are very appropriate. These can adorn the home of the newly married couple as a reminder of their special sacred day for years to come.
There are many choices for Roman Catholic gifts. A thoughtfully selected gift can facilitate the recipient to dive deeper into the Catholic faith. It can serve as a keepsake and a reminder of the special moment they experience the sacrament for which it was given.
