Baptised in the Jordan

"The soldier baptizes the king, the slave his Lord, John baptizes his Saviour. The waters of the Jordan are astonished, the dove appears as a sign, the voice of the Father declares: ‘This is my Son.’"

– Lauds antiphon for the feast of the Lord's Baptism.

 

My homily for today's feast can be read here.
