Baptism of Our Lord

Baptism of Our Lord

Water is the symbol of life and the waters of baptism represent our new life in Christ. The dove symbolizes the presence of God’s Holy Spirit and both Mark’s gospel and the story in Acts portray the spirit’s movement as distinguishing Jesus’ baptism from John’s. The dove is also associated with peace and Psalm 29 ends with God’s blessing of peace on his people.
