Lake Superior - North Shore
This is the Tettgouche State Park where the Baptism River enters the big lake! The beach area and channel changes every year depending on wind, waves and currents. . . never the same!
It's a beautiful area to explore, hike or just pause to savor the natural beauty that surrounds you in this place!

Baptism
Until then I had only offered my advice, visions and incantations. However, the dark and foreboding events looming on the horizon demanded my direct participation. It became imperative that I consecrate myself and receive sacred baptism, allowing me to wield the sacred sword and fight alongside the new knights who will save us from the hordes of barbarians who seek to conquer the ancient land...

I was honoured to be present at the baptism of a young friend of mine. There can be few settings as dramatic as Loch Ness for such a life affirming event. It was blowing a gale and freezing, but the smile on the young man's face when he emerged from the water was just awesome.

Trying to sell this one, so thought I'd put it up here before I let it go. I doubt the frame is original to the picture, as then how did the chip show up, but the frame must not have come along not too much later, judging by its design, the backing, and the rather primitive wire hanger that held it on the wall.

I made one dozen of each of these designs for a cousin's grandson's baptism. She didn't think she could eat a cross, so I made sure there were the lambs for her!
"Our Lord voluntarily submitted himself to the baptism of St. John, intended for sinners, in order to "fulfill all righteousness." Jesus' gesture is a manifestation of his self-emptying. The Spirit who had hovered over the waters of the first creation descended then on the Christ as a prelude of the new creation, and the Father revealed Jesus as his "beloved Son."

Immersion
Immersion
Main article: Immersion baptism
The word "immersion" is derived from late Latin immersionem, a noun derived from the verb immergere (in – "into" + mergere "dip"). In relation to baptism, some use it to refer to any form of dipping, whether the body is put completely under water or is only partly dipped in water; they thus speak of immersion as being either total or partial. Others, of the Anabaptist tradition, use "immersion" to mean exclusively plunging someone entirely under the surface of the water (submersion).[94][95] The term "immersion" is also used of a form of baptism in which water is poured over someone standing in water, without submersion of the person.[96][97] On these three meanings of the word "immersion", see Immersion baptism.
When "immersion" is used in opposition to "submersion",[98] it indicates the form of baptism in which the candidate stands or kneels in water and water is poured over the upper part of the body. Immersion in this sense has been employed in West and East since at least the 2nd century and is the form in which baptism is generally depicted in early Christian art. In the West, this method of baptism began to be replaced by affusion baptism from around the 8th century, but it continues in use in Eastern Christianity.[96][97][99]
