Life
The Baptism of the Lord commemorates Jesus' baptism by John in the Jordan River, when the Holy Spirit descended upon him like a dove and the Father's voice proclaimed him his beloved Son. The feast reveals the Trinity and marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. Celebrated after Epiphany, it brings the Christmas season to a close.
