There is nothing like that in Christianity. Buddhist monks tie threads around people's wrists as a blessing- that's about the closest.

Jewish boys have a bar mitzvah on becoming men, but Christian baptism is equally for boys and girls and is performed either on babies or adults on conversion- it is in no way a coming-of-age ceremony but signifies joining Christ's church. The Buddhist one is a general tradition that can be carried out by an elder or monk as a blessing on another- any age, any ***, any number of times.
