Baptism, a sacrament of admission to Christianity. The forms and rituals of the various Christian churches vary, but baptism almost invariably involves the use of water and the Trinitarian invocation, “I baptize you: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” The candidate may be wholly or partly immersed in water, the water may be poured over the head, or a few drops may be sprinkled or placed on the head.
Typically, parents and their chosen godparents bring the child to their priest or minister who then pours water on the child's forehead. Some religious denominations sprinkle water. Some of those to be baptized are partially or fully immersed in water as was the practice depicted in many early Christian art.
