Confession is a practice or act of acknowledging or admitting one's own wrongdoing, sin, or guilt. It is generally done in a religious or moral context, where individuals confess their sins or transgressions to a higher power, such as a priest, deity, or spiritual leader. The purpose of confession is often to seek forgiveness, absolution, and a sense of spiritual cleansing or renewal. It is seen as a means of personal growth, self-reflection, and reconciliation with both oneself and the divine.
