Photo by cocoparisienne

Baptism is a Christian sacrament in which water is used to purify and cleanse a person, and is often seen as an outward sign of their inward commitment to God. It is considered to be one of the most important sacraments, as it is seen as the gateway into the Christian faith.

There are many different ways in which baptism can be performed, but the most common is by immersion in water. This symbolizes the death of the old self and the start of a new life in Christ. After being baptized, Christians are welcomed into the Church community and can take part in all its activities and sacraments.

If you would like to find out more about baptism, or if you are considering being baptized, then please speak to your local priest or minister. They will be able to give you more information and answer any questions you may have.
