Today the church celebrates the Theophany of God during the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan. Before Jesus start His earthly mission, went to John the Baptist, so called because he baptized with water, and preached the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus came to John's Church of trying to also had been baptized, but John
recognizing him, he refused because he was not even worthy to tie the sandals of Jesus, ask him to do the opposite, as it recognized him as the Messiah. Jesus insisted, saying that it was the will of the Father, at this point John baptized with the consent and water, but just then the heavens opened and a voice exclaimed, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" and the Holy Spirit as a dove descended upon Him Here the Christ (anointed by Lord) recognized baptism as sanctifying action that frees man from original sin, He who was without stain of sin for the salvation of man was baptized, with this action is sanctified all the waters.
