John the Baptist, clothed in humble garments and holding a shepherd’s staff crowned with the cross, pours water over the head of Jesus, who stands in the Jordan with hands folded in prayer. Above, the Holy Spirit descends as a dove, a radiant symbol of divine affirmation. This sacred moment unveils the mystery of the Trinity and marks the beginning of Christ’s public ministry. In His humility, Jesus identifies with humanity’s need for renewal, while John, the voice crying out in the wilderness, fulfills his role as forerunner. The scene radiates grace, calling the faithful to spiritual rebirth.
