Baptism is a Christian practice that shows a person's decision to follow Jesus. It means starting a new life with God and being washed clean from past wrongs. This event is performed by a minister or priest who uses water. They might pour water over the person's head, sprinkle it, or fully immerse the person in water. While doing this, the minister says words like, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Baptism can happen at different times: for babies soon after birth, or for adults after they choose to believe in Jesus. It usually takes place in a church, but sometimes in rivers or lakes. The main people involved are the person being baptized, the minister, and often family or friends who are there to support. It's a public way to show faith and join the Christian community.
