Baptism

Baptism is one of the most significant rites in Christianity, symbolizing purification, repentance, and initiation into the Christian community. Deeply rooted in biblical tradition, this practice carries profound theological implications and a rich historical context. The origins of Baptism can be traced back to ancient Jewish practices of ritual cleansing. In the Old Testament, various forms of water purification were prescribed for ceremonial cleanliness, such as in Leviticus and Numbers, where washing with water was a means of purification.
