Let us find out the answers

1. The etymology of the word ‘baptism’ is ‘dip’ or ‘bathe’.
2. Through baptism we begin to lead a life in Jesus as our sins are absolved through this sacrament. That is why baptism is called ‘the door to Christian living’.
3. The visible components of baptism are anointing with holy oil, pouring water on the head, putting on white clothes and a Lit candle.

4. The fruits of baptism are receiving absolution of sin to obtain divine grace; becoming God’s children, the members of the church and inherit heaven.
