Many Protestant denominations recognize two sacraments:
* Baptism: This is a symbolic act of cleansing and new birth, signifying a person's entry into the Christian faith. It is often performed by immersion or sprinkling with water.
* Holy Communion (also called the Lord's Supper or Eucharist): This is a commemoration of Jesus Christ's sacrifice, where believers partake in bread and wine (or grape juice) as symbols of his body and blood. It is a time for reflection, thanksgiving, and fellowship.
