what europe made of baptism and water was: kidding us, namely: we can do everything you jewish armenians can do

Traditionally in ancient times, the act of Baptism was considered a sacrament of the moon and fertility goddess in which worshippers underwent an immersion into water ritual or would take part in washing rites of spiritual initiation. With the development of Christianity, it was said that John the Baptist used water baptism as the central sacrament which became a Christian rite of admission and adoption into the Church, usually with the use of water poured over the head, used for the purpose of ‘christening’. Baptism is generally considered to be a form of rebirth by water and the spirit, to give birth to a new spiritual creation within the body and to become stamped with the spiritual seal of the Church
