Confession is a religious movement or community within a specific religion, possessing its own unique characteristics, internal belief system, and ritual traditions. Originating from the Latin word «confessio» (acknowledgment, profession of faith), this term was initially used to denote branches within Christianity, but today it is applied to define the directions of religious associations in general. The existence of various confessions within a single religion is directly related to the historical and cultural development of the faith.
