as most of you know, i was confirmed in the SSPX chapel in November, i want to know something about the FSSP confirmation. does the bishop lightly tap your cheek ?
ours did.
I was Confirmed in the Old Rite (see my sig. for a link to the thread with pictures of it ) and the Bishop did tap my cheek. It is supposed to represent one becoming a soldier of Christ.
My thread also has a link to a Fisheaters article on the Old Rite of Confirmation. Enjoy the pictures .

Bishop Nicholas Dimarzio administered the Sacrament of Confirmation in accordance with the Traditional Roman Rite at Mater Ecclesiae a few years ago and he did lightly slap the kids receiving the Sacrament- and did it all in accordance with the Traditional Rite.
