Title: Sacrament
Summary: Sacraments were signs that determined if someone was graced. These signs were thought to be conducted by Christ. An example of a sacrament would be the Puritans. The Puritans believed that they were doomed to hell unless they discovered a sign from god. This sign would determine if he/she would be saved by god. It later turned out that these signs were called Sacraments.
Allusion: When Moses discovered that he was Muslim, he confronted God and helped free the Muslim slaves that the Egyptians were taking advantage of. This relates to sacrament because this is clearly a sign of God. After Moses has freed the slaves, he descended a mountain with two tablets that had the 10 Commandments. These tablets were said to have been created by God.

ok, here's my version. im gonna shorten it down even more on my card, but here's what you should have.
The Sacraments are physical rites that represent the spiritual. In Protestant churches, the main sacraments are baptism, and communion. Baptism is a physical ceremony that represents our burial with Christ, and our cleansing. Communion consists of taking unleavened bread and wine or grape juice, which represent Jesus' body and blood, as He had instructed His disciples during the Last Supper. This ceremony represents our remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice for humankind as well as God's promise of eternal life.
In a T.V. series called "Shield," episode 2 of season 6 is called "Baptism by Fire." This equates to the Bible, as various characters must face challenges that might take their life, yet in the end those who endured through a trial were able to move onwards stronger than before.
yeah, that wasnt the best allusion, but its all i could think of. and i have no clue about the specifics of that tv show, i just found it.
