What is used at baptism?

Answer 1

Baptisms are performed by immersion, infusion (pouring water) or aspersion (sprinkling water). The child is presented for whatever method the church uses by the parents. In all churches, the child is presented to the priest/minister at a receptacle called a "baptismal font" that holds water that has been blessed according to the rules of the denomination. Often, there are "sponsors" or "godparents" present who promise to support the parents and child. In some churches, these people actually promise to become parents to the child if the parents should not be present or die. The child asks for baptism through her parents or sponsors and is immersed, washed or splashed with water that has been blessed and is perceived as "holy water" by the priest/minister and congregation. The ceremony always includes the naming of the child and a commitment to God.

Answer 2

Baptismal gown, chrism oil, holy water, and a baptismal font. The most essential ingredient is water. Every baptism requires water. Most churches require special baptism clothing. And, of course, you need a priest, an unbaptized individual (may be any age) and parents and sponsors. A shell or small basin may be used to lift the water to pour over the child or adult's head.

Catholic AnswerBaptism begins with the sign of the cross on the individual's forehead; followed by reading from Sacred Scripture. Then the individual is exorcised and anointed with the oil of catechumens. The individual is then either immersed three times (in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) or water is poured over his forehead three times along with the baptismal formula. Then the individual is anointed with the Sacred Chrism. He is then given a white garment and a candle.

The symbols of Baptism are the water, and the words used by the Priest to baptise you. The flowing water (it must actually flow on you) is the matter of baptism, the words used by the priest are called the form.

Answer:Shell: The shell (usually a scallop or cockle shell) with three water drops is a symbol of baptism generally, and especially of the baptism of Christ. The three droplets remind us of the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - into which Christians are baptized. The shell alone may also be used as a symbol for pilgrimage, and may be used as an emblem for saints known for their travels (such as St. James) or whose shrines have become destinations for pilgrims.

Candle: Jesus is called the light of the world. A lighted candle may be given to the baptismal candidate at the end of the service as a reminder of the light that has come into their life.

the sign of the cross - this will be made on the forehead of the baptismal candidates. It is like an invisible badge to show that Christians are united with Christ and must not be afraid to stand up for him.

water - this will be poured over the head of the baptism candidates. it is a sign of being washed clean from sin and beginning a new life with God.

anointing - the minister may anoint the baptism candidate with oil as a sign of the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit

I think there are no symbols of baptism.

fire or Dove: symbolized the Holy Spirit coming down upon the persons being baptised.

Answer

But baptism is a symbol of being born again. Going under the water symbolises death and coming up out of the water symbolises rebirth or newness in Christ We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father, we too might walk in newness of life. Rom 6:4.

Water baptism is an act that demonstrates the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shows one's belief in the fact that Christ came to die on the cross to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, that we might be seen as righteous in the sight of God. It is a step a Christian should take.

..........................................

The scallop shell represents baptism.

The symbolic objects used in Baptism are:

• water

• oil (chrism)

• a candle

• a white garment

Water: In it, we are symbolically 'drowned' or put to death to rise to new life in Christ. We are also washed clean from all stain of original sin.

Oil: We are marked with the sign of the cross on our forehead with the oil of Chrism. This symbolises the seal of the Holy Spirit.

Candle: We receive a lighted candle to show that we have passed out of darkness into the light of Christ.

The Shell: A shell is often used by the priest to pour the water on the candidate. This obviously recalls the importance of water in the washing away of sin. It also recalls a time when pilgrims to holy sites used shells to drink from. In this way, it symbolises the Christian pilgrimage that the candidate sets out on.
It is genarraly the symbol of a dove over water because Jesus was baptised in the river Jordan and a dove appeared. This is often printed on baptism candels. Candles could be considered another symbol as {this is meant to be the parents gurding the child's soul} Not to sure about the last bit in {}'s so don't quote me on it.
