There is no specific patron saint of baptism. However, John the Baptist is often associated with baptism as he is known for baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. Therefore, some may consider him as a spiritual guide and intercessor in matters related to baptism.
Jesus did because he was baptized by John the baptist
The four gospels all indicate that Jesus' baptism was the beginning of his public ministry. The gospels depict Jesus' baptism as part of God's plan for his life. This comes out very well in the Gospel of Luke, where the conception, and the birth of John the Baptism were surrounded by prodigious signs. John the Baptist is described as being the forerunner of Jesus. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Jesus' ministry would begin with his baptism by John, which was an endorsement of John's ministry, as well as being a symbol of the beginning of his own.
It was that people of all sorts came to hear John the Baptizer as he "preached publicly to all the people of Israel baptism in symbol of repentance." (Acts 13:24)
John the Baptist - the 'voice crying out in the desert.'
Because it was By St. John's Baptism that Our Lord was Anointed as the Messiah.
I believe the first baptisms were performed by John the Baptist in the river.
Baptism originated in Israel, the Holy Land. It was a Jewish custom to baptize for repentance of sin. John the Baptist carried on this custom.
John baptized the people with water from the river Jordan. Answer When John baptized Christ he did so in the River Jordan "As there was much water there". According to the importance of there being much water, John fully immersed those who came to him for baptism. John would have used the fully immersed baptism in all of his baptizing. One cannot symbolically come out of the water having left the old self behind by simply sprinkling the candidate.
