Baptism is the one sacrament that all Christian denominations share in common. From the beginning of the New Testament, Christianity at the Feast of Pentecost (Acts 2:38-39) to our time have practiced the first sacrament of Initiation, Baptism, a welcoming into the Christian faith. Water symbolizes life, death, and cleansing. Water is either poured over the baptized person's head or the individual is immersed in it. Each baptized person is presented with a candle that is lit from the Paschal candle; this symbolic act represents the coming of Christ into the person's life.
