Baptism is a very important sacrament because it is the first sacrament that you can receive. The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated for the decision to follow Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. The symbols for baptism include:
The white garment symbolizes the child's life in Christ. Often your parents will keep what you wore when you are baptized. Some clothing that you could wear are a gown, a stole, a scapular or a bib. The color white is used through out the sacraments but in baptism it means life, purity, newness and innocence.
