Sacraments and sacramentals sanctify persons, build up the Church, and make Christ’s paschal mystery present through Scripture, prayer, gestures, symbols, material elements, and approved rites. The handbook studies them historically, theologically, and pastorally, relating celebration and doctrine through *lex orandi* and *lex credendi*. Christian initiation develops from apostolic and biblical foundations into catechumenal rites of exorcism, anointing, renunciation, Creed, Lord’s Prayer, baptism, chrismation, white garment, candle, Confirmation, Eucharist, and mystagogia; medieval standardization and separation of the rites are followed by post-Vatican II restoration, including revised adult and infant baptism. Confirmation’s history includes debate over chrism and laying on of hands, its completion of baptism, and its empowerment for witness. Reconciliation is traced from public canonical penance, fasting, exclusion, and solemn restoration to private confession, the Fourth Lateran annual requirement, Trent’s definition of penitent acts and absolution, and the varied rites of the 1974 *Ordo Paenitentiae*. Anointing of the sick develops from healing prayer and blessed oil into a sacrament for serious illness and old age, linked with penance and Viaticum. Holy Orders examines episcopal, presbyteral, and diaconal ministries, ordination symbols, Vatican II’s restoration of episcopal primacy, and the permanent diaconate. Marriage rites show Eastern and Western interaction of consent, priestly blessing, crowning, rings, veiling, common cup, Eucharist, and local custom, while the consecration of virgins moves from simple prayers to elaborate ceremonies and modern simplification. Funeral rites recover baptismal and paschal hope, and sacramental blessings sanctify daily life through communal praise, petition, and regional adaptation.
