The Sacrament of Baptism - Symbols, Meaning, and Significance #79143 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts five core symbols of Christian baptism: a cruet of chrism oil marked “OC” (Oleum Catechumenorum), a lit Paschal candle inscribed with Alpha and Omega and a cross, a white baptismal garment with a red cross, a seashell pouring water, and a basin of flowing water. These elements represent purification, enlightenment, new life in Christ, and incorporation into the Church.
