sacramental

From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition  |  Date: 2008

sacramental in the Roman Catholic Church, aid to devotion that is not a sacrament. Sacramentals are commonly divided into six classes: prayer, anointing, eating, confession, giving, and blessings. According to church teaching, sacramentals are not founded by God but by the church, and therefore do not convey grace. Examples are holy water , many blessings, and the rosary .
