The Hispanic Church has carefully organized the administration of Baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist, as well as the preparation for the reception of these sacraments, the Catechumenate. The purpose proposed in this work is the study of Christian initiation and the way it has come down to us in the Hispanic liturgical resources. Christian initiation is thus very complex. This work studies how Christian initiation is presented in Hispanic liturgical resources. The project is ambitious, looking at Christian initiation over the course of six centuries and how it has evolved. When looking at the evolution of Church practice as well, we will begin to understand the complexity of the problem.
