Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the Baptism of the Lord by his relative, John the Baptist, in the River Jordan.

In the Scripture account of the event, we also catch a glimpse of the Blessed Trinity.  We read:

“After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, heaven was opened and the holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Luke 3: 21-22).

In the photo above, we see Elmy Valentina Gutiérrez Cruz of the Church of San Antonio, a community of Alubarén, before the Mass in which she was baptized.  Her parents are Delmis Karolina Cruz Ramírez and Erlin Edgardo Gutiérrez Maradiaga.
