What is Baptism and why is it important? 

Baptism is the first of the 7 Sacraments. Here a person is poured holy water on their heads in which their original sin; passed from Adam and Eve, is washed away. They are made new through Jesus Christ representing His light.

Many verses in the Bible show the importance of Baptism! Here are some to get you started:

* Matthew 3:13

* Matthew 28:19-20

* John 3:5
