Baptism<\/strong>\u00a0is the mystery\u00a0of starting anew, of dying to an old way of life and being born again
\ninto a new way of life, in Christ. In the Orthodox Church, baptism is "for the remission of sins" (cf.
\nThe Nicene Creed and for entrance into the Church; the person being baptized is cleansed of all sins
\nand is united to Christ; through the waters of baptism he or she is mysteriously crucified and buried
\nwith Christ, and is raised with him to newness of life, having "put on" Christ (that is, having been
\nclothed in Christ). The cleansing of sins includes the washing away of the ancestral sin.<\/p>\n
