baptism
There is no such thing in Judaism.
Depends on the liturgical color. But there are standard colors for confession (purple) and baptism (white) etc.
Baptism represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus by being plunged under water, being under water, and being risen out of the water.
In Protestant churches where infant baptism is practiced, a candle represents the light of Christ entering the world through the newly baptized.
An Orthodox baptism involves a triple immersion of a child or adult in water. This represents the likeness of the death and resurrection of the Lord and His three-day burial.
The color of Baptism is white, which is used to symbolize Faith, Hope, Purity and New Life. When preforming a baptism a priest wears a white stole and the infant or catechumen is often dressed in white, or is ceremoniously presented with a white garment, and given a white candle.
Baptism is a Christian tradition and the baptism candle has a long history. Light is an important symbol within Christianity and the baptism candle represents the movement from death to life in Christ, who is also known as the 'light of the world." Baptism is the way in which the Church welcomes a child into the community of faith.
It doesn't, baptism would be being completely submerged in water. This represents the cleansing that happens when Jesus Christ comes into our life. When we ask to be forgiven of our sins. He comes in and completely cleans our heart and makes us a new creature. This is what baptism represents.
The Orthodox believe that Baptism represents the likeness of the death and resurrection of the Lord and His three-day burial. For this reason, an Orthodox baptism involves three immersions in water. The word baptize comes from the Greek word 'baptizma' which means to immerse and completely cover in water. Sprinkling with water is called Aspersion, but it is not the same as a baptism. Baptism by triple immersion has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years.
The stole represents the authority and responsibility of the priesthood. It is a symbol of the priest's role as a mediator between God and the community, and is worn to signify the priest's ability to administer the sacraments and lead the faithful in worship.
It represents the cleansing of the soul of original sin.
