Baptism of the Lord

The Baptism of the Lord commemorates the final "Christmas" feast, when the Father reveals the divinity of Jesus at His baptism through the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River. It is a good day to celebrate our own baptism, our "new birth" in Christ and inclusion in His body, the Church.
