Spells cast from magic items don’t need the components at all, though the specific item may impose other requirements.

Can you cast a spell without a component?
Unless stated otherwise if you cast a spell from an item you can do so without any components. (DMG, p. 141) Another way to ignore Material and Somatic components is the Wish spell,which can duplicate any 8th level or lower spell with no need for components. (Wish itself requires a Verbal component) – Teron Aug 11 ’17 at 21:13
Are there any spells that only have material components?
Note that D&D Beyond right now has Hypnotic Pattern listed as only having a Material component. Freaked me out when I looked it up the other day. If you add UA, there’s also Primal Savagery and Puppet. Thanks! I’ll put them in, which UA are they?

Another way to ignore Material and Somatic components is the Wish spell,which can duplicate any 8th level or lower spell with no need for components.

Do you need a holy symbol to cast a spell?
Unless you have a holy symbol or arcane focus, which can substitute for some material components, you need to speak the words (Verbal) and make the motions (Somatic), and maybe dig into your component pouch for a spell component (Material), in order to cast the spell.
