Did John the Baptist invent baptism? Actually, no. The story of baptism goes back to our Jewish ancestry with the ritual cleansing of the Mikvah. Jesus combines the baptism of John the Baptist and the idea of mikvah’s and ritual cleaning into a sacrament in the Church. Through the Holy Spirit, baptism is a bath that purifies, justifies, and sanctifies. Baptism washes us from our sins.

👇 ABOUT 👇
We believe the Catechism is not a textbook, a collection of ideas, or a set of rules. We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world.

Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.
