Detailed explanation-1: -The colour white symbolises resurrection; in dressing the newly baptised in a white garment we are acknowledging that the life of the Resurrected Jesus and that His spirit is within them. These symbolize Christ – the Light of the World.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is the primary symbol of baptism. John the Baptist used water (Mt 3:11; Mk 1:8a; Jn 1:33; 3:23), as did Jesus (Jn 3:22). Jesus is living water (Jn 4:10), and when Jesus died, the water that flowed from his pierced side serves as a wellspring of his life and grace (Jn 19:34).
Detailed explanation-3: -Three important symbols of baptism: death, burial and resurrection. Three important symbols can be found in baptism. First, we are given the command in the book of Acts to “repent and be baptized for the remission of sin” (Acts 2:38). Baptism follows repentance of sin.
