What are four signs and symbols associated with Catholic baptism?

There are many symbols in a Roman Catholic Baptism including: 1) Water: to purify the celebrant of original sin (Water is poured over the celebrant's forehead) 2) Oil: to mark the celebrant as a child of God (Chrism oil is placed on the celebrant's forehead in the sign of the Cross) 3) Fire: to signify the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit in the celebrant's life (A candle is presented to the celebrant's family, as they are guardians for the celebrant.

For now, the parents and godparents are making this decision in the name of the celebrant.)
