Answer:

Catholic Answer

Baptism begins with the sign of the cross on the individual's forehead; followed by reading from Sacred Scripture. Then the individual is exorcised and anointed with the oil of catechumens. The individual is then either immersed three times (in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) or water is poured over his forehead three times along with the baptismal formula. Then the individual is anointed with the Sacred Chrism. He is then given a white garment and a candle.
