How were the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) celebrated in the early church?

The catechumenate developed in the first centuries of the Church. The focus was on adult believers, even if there were also children and infants from those families. Each person went through a period of instruction and learning to live the Christian life.

This period might last several years. At the beginning of Lent the “elect” would enter into a special time of prayer and preparation leading up to the great night of the Easter Vigil. At the vigil, the whole initiation happened, beginning with the baptism, followed by the anointing of Confirmation.

The new members were then admitted into the assembly for the liturgy of the Eucharist and could partake in communion. It was initiation into the Body of Christ, becoming a member of the Kingdom. It happened at the Easter Vigil where we die with Christ, in order to rise with Christ, where we share in the Pentecost experience, so as to share fully in Christ through communion.

The conversion process was never intended to end with the Easter ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
