What do you were to a baptism?

In: Christianity [Edit categories]

Answer:

This depends. Baptism is practiced in more than one faith, and some in certain rituals. Baptism usually means cleansing, and purification.

In Orthodox Judaism, for example, there is a symbolic bath that women must just prior to marriage.

There are many faiths that have a baptism.

Some involve dunking, and others sprinkling, some in tap water, some in consecrated waters.

Generally you wear a minimal amount of clothing, wearing something that can get wet and not have 'runny' dye. It is likely a white color.

Some religions ordain a special dress code, usually a dress code for babies and children. Shoes shoud not be worn, because they are considered soilded.
