BAPTISM

The Sacrament of Baptism is a Sacrament of the Armenian Church that represents spiritual birth. Baptism, Chrismation/Confirmation (affirmation of the Holy Spirit) and Communion are performed together as one’s Initiation into the Armenian Church. 

​

Through Baptism a person enters the Church of Christ, becomes a member of the Body of Christ, and is cleansed of sin.

​

By Chrismation, the new Christian is sealed and anointed with Holy Chrism oil (called Muron in Armenian) and by anointing receives the Holy Spirit and is affirmed as a member of the Apostolic Church. With Holy Communion, the new Christian is nourished with Christ’s Body and Blood and united with Him and the eternal Kingdom of God.

​

The Sacrament of Baptism must be performed according to the canons of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
