Baptism

The holy sacrament of Batism is one of the most holy sacraments to the Eastern Orthodox religion. It is the sacrament in which a person(usually a child) is put into a faunt of holy water, which is designanted to clense the body and soul of all sin. Their whole body is dipped in three times, to resemble the Holy Trinity. It marks the ending of the past, of any sin, and the rebirth and resurection of christ in the person in the future.When the person is Baptised they are then united with the Holy Spirit. After the person is put in the faunt, they then recieve holy communion, partaking in the body and blood of Christ.
