Baptism
The practice of baptism is also found in Scripture, in the story of John the Baptist. Some background information about John:
He was born in Judea to Zechariah, a priest, and his wife Elizabeth, perhaps a relative of Mary, the mother of Jesus
-
-
He spent his formative years in the Judean desert, where monastic communities (such as the Essenes) and individual hermits often educated the young in their own ideals
His camel-hair garment was the traditional clothing of the prophets, and he had a diet of locusts and wild honey, representing either strict adherence to Jewish purity laws or the ascetic conduct of a Nazirite
