At Confirmation, the confirmandi chooses a certain saint who they hope to follow throughout their lives. One of the most important sacraments is Confirmation.

While there many gorgeous and historical art works present at National Gallery of Art, I shall only compare and contrast the functions, materials and the context of a pair art works. The first art work is called Reliquary Châsse, which was made in Limoges; a city of French that well-known for copper work. The birth years of the art was written in between 1175 to 1180 CE. The art work is now a donation from Widerner Collection since 1942 to National Gallery of Art. On other hand, the second art work
