The common item used in all baptisms is water; Catholics, Orthodox and many Anglicans use blessed water i.e. water upon which the Holy Spirit has been called down. Most Protestant groups use unblessed water. Catholics, Orthodox and some other Christians also use; - Oil of Catechumens to symbolize strength - Oil of Chrism to symbolise being chosen by God - Candle to symbolise the light of Christ - White garment to symbolise being wrapped in the purity of Christ.

Can you use anything else instead of water for Baptism?

The Rite of Baptism in most Christian churches involves Holy (blessed) Water and Holy (blessed) Water. Some denominations use springs or streams, or even a bathtub filled with water--these are blessed by the clergy just before the Baptism. Full immersion (indoor or outdoor) for adult Baptism is practiced in many denominations; other denominations use a Baptismal font (especially for infant Baptism) or sprinkling of Holy Water on the person's forehead.For example, a disabled child or bedridden adult would not be denied Baptism just because they cannot be dunked or immersed in water. The Rite of Baptism is not to exclude, but to include people into the Family of God.


Why is water such a big part in the sacrament of baptism?

It symbolises purification, cleansing, and as baptism is considered cleansing of 'original sin', its a powerful symbol for us to use.
