Abstract

     This study tries to shed light on baptism in Christianity and within the framework of human rights, as Christians baptize a person only once in his life by immersing him in water three times or spraying water over the head three times, yet the people of the lower class often neglect their children baptizing for a year If they live at a great distance from the church, and in other cases as well, where the child dips three times in water added to it with some holy oil, drips onto the index finger of the priest and is removed in the water, and the prayer is performed on him in the Coptic. Copts believe that the Holy Spirit descends on the child at the time of baptism, and the priest does not take cash for his baptism, unless he comes to him voluntarily.
