Baptism is a meaningful and memorable occasion, a sacrament of the Christian faith. Baptism is a sign of God’s covenant with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the holy spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.
