Some wonder that the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated so soon after Christmas. After all, it is not as if Jesus got baptised as a baby at two or three weeks old as is a familiar custom in the Church. Indeed, there can be no comparison. We do not keep today’s feast so soon after celebrating Jesus’ birth as a kind of Catholic “boost” for infant baptism. Jesus was 30 years old at the time of his baptism by John in the River Jordan, a baptism very different from what we think of with special baby garments and candles and maybe a family gathering afterwards.
