"And we, in receiving Baptism, ... conceal ourselves in [the water] as the
Savior did in the earth: and by doing this thrice we represent for
ourselves that grace of the Resurrection which was wrought in three days.
And this we do, not receiving the sacrament in silence, but while there are
spoken over us the Names of the Three Sacred Persons on Whom we believed,
in Whom we also hope, from Whom comes to us both the fact of our present
and the fact of our future existence."
St. Gregory of Nyssa, Sermon For the Day of Lights.

"And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and
the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven,
You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Mark 1:10-11
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
