Baptism - Մկրտութիւն
Baptism is first sacrament and the foundation of Christian life. The person being baptized (child or adult) is integrated into the church community, the Body of Christ. Being washed with blessed water in the holy font, the candidate for baptism imitates Jesus' own baptism in the River Jordan, and is obedient to Jesus' command, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." (John 3:4). Following baptism in the water, the newly-baptized is anointed with holy chrism (myron), sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit as were the kings, prophets and priests of old. In so doing, the newly-baptized is adopted as a child of God, and an heir of God's Kingdom and eternal blessings. The newly-baptized now has the privilege to worship God at the holy altar, and to receive holy Communion of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
