The Baptism of the Lord is a profound moment in the liturgical calendar that marks the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. Celebrated annually, this event highlights the humility of Christ as He chooses to be baptized by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. It signifies His acceptance of His mission to bring salvation to humanity and serves as a powerful reminder of the grace bestowed upon us through the sacrament of baptism.
