The Baptism of Jesus

Joachim Patinir, The Baptism of Christ, 1515


This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan by John the Baptist. Jesus’s baptism is an act of humility. In his baptism, he consents to be counted as if he were a sinner, along with everyone else.

 

Welcome
