I have a question about the Catholic sacrament of Baptism. What is the meaning of the word “baptism”?

The word “baptism” comes from the Greek word baptizo, which means “to dip or immerse”. In the Catholic Church, baptism is a sacrament that is performed by a priest or deacon. It is a symbolic representation of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a way of symbolically entering into the life of the Church.
