Mat 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
There are two things that need to be explained here before we can answer the question. Water baptism and the "great commission" The "Great commission" is Jesus' command to go into the world and preach the gospel to as many people as possible. It is the message that salvation comes through Jesus and no other. Water baptism is also commanded by Jesus. Baptism is and outward sign of what has gone on inside of a person. By going through baptism the person is saying to the world that I am a believer. I belong to Jesus. He is my master and Lord. Now we can answer the question: After a person has responded to the great commission by accepting Jesus as Savior then he is baptized to proclaim that to the world.
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost, (Matthew 3.11)
It has the symbol of peace. Which was what Christ brought to the world.
Everything that Jesus did or said has affected the entire world forever.
Baptism is the outwardly display to the world that we are a new creation through the acceptance of Jesus Christ. It is through baptism that we show that we are born again. Our first birth is through our mother and the second is by water and the Holy Spirit. Through Baptism we receive the gift of faith.
The Baptism of Jesus is celebrated during the liturgical season of Epiphany in the Christian calendar. This season highlights the revelation of Christ to the world, including his baptism by John the Baptist. The feast is typically observed on the Sunday following the Feast of the Epiphany, which falls on January 6. It marks a significant moment in Jesus' ministry, symbolizing the beginning of his public life and mission.
John's baptism was a baptism of repentance, and the new beginning was Jesus Christ whom he introduced thus in John 1.29. "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
so that the prophecy of the prophets would be fullfilled .. Jesus came to the world to fulfill the promises of the Father ... in other ways he have to be baptized so that baptism could have its validity ..
The reason why they celebrate it is because Jesus told us to. He said we should do this as a sign to the world that we have accepted Jesus as our savior. Being baptised means being buried in water. Your rising up from it like Jesus rised up from the dead. I should know it because I'm Christian...even though I did not get baptised. That is why Christians celebrate Baptism.
Are you asking for a date or just when in the bible? I believe it talks about Christ's baptism in Matthew Chapter 3.ALSOIn the last chapter of Matthew Jesus gives His disciples the "great commission". He tells them to make disciples and baptize them. This is where Jesus specifically says to baptize. Notice also that baptism is a believers baptism not the baptism of infants. A disciple is a person who has been trained/taughtMat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

The words of John the Baptist who baptised him. Please see John 1.29. "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." That was and is Jesus mission; to take away the sins of the world. .
