# Batisme

Lo batisme, bateg, la batejada (var. bat(e)iada), batejalha, batialha (var. batielha auv.), lo batejament, batejat, batesme o la batesma (e batiau/batiòu en gascon) (del grèc βαπτίζω baptizo: «immersion», «far d'ablucions») es un acte ritual crestian, amb utilizacion d'aiga, per lo qual una persona es admesa coma sòci de la Glèisa.
Jèsus se meteis foguèt batejat. La forma usuala del baptisme entre los primièrs crestians èra per lo candidat d'èsser banhat totalament o parcialament. Mentre que Joan Baptista fasiá servir un riu prigond per son baptisme, çò que suggerís una immersion, las pròvas iconologicas e arqueologicas del baptisme crestian dempuèi lo sègle III indican que la forma normala èra de versar d'aiga subre la part nauta del còs de la persona que se teniá quilhada dins lo riu. Una autra forma comuna de batisme es de versar d'aiga tres còps subre lo front de la persona.

* ↑ Cal notar qu'es un imatge de batisme per versament d'aiga subre lo front, diferent del baptisme per immersion jos l'aiga. Aqueste mòde de baptisme contunha d'èsser utilizat dins los païses de l'èst, levat pels mainatges, mas a l'oèst foguèt abandonat cap al sègle XV, e l'artista pòt aver causit una forma arcaïca per pintar lo batisme de Sant Pèire.

* ↑ Mentre que in some places and in certain circumstances total immersion very likely was practiced, all the evidence (and there is much more) points to baptism in most cases by partial immersion, or affusion (dunking of the head or pouring water over the head, typically when the baptizand was standing in the baptismal pool). Here the words of St. John Chrysostom might be noted: "It is as in a tomb that we immerse our heads in the water… then when we lift our heads back the new man comes forth" (On John 25.2, PG 59:151). In a word, while early Christians were very attentive to symbolism relating to baptism (cf. the funerary shape of the baptistry building; the steps, typically three, for descending and rising from the font; the iconography relating to regeneration, etc.), they show few signs of preoccupation with total immersion.
