Extra detail
All major denominations use water as part of this purification ritual. For some this may involve full immersion (Baptists and orthodox) while others practise aspersion or affusion (Anglican and Catholic)
This is reaffirmed in the words present in the catholic rite of baptism, ‘You become a new creation and clothed yourself in christ’.
