Bautismal

Bautismal refers to anything related to baptism, a sacrament or religious rite of immersion in water, or spiritual cleansing. This term is commonly used to describe elements, practices, or records associated with the Christian sacrament of baptism. For instance, bautismal fonts are basins used to hold the water for baptism, and bautismal records are documents that log an individual's baptism, typically including their name, date of birth, date of baptism, and the names of parents or godparents. Bautismal names, sometimes referred to as Christian names, are given during the baptismal ceremony. The adjective can also describe customs or traditions observed during or related to a baptismal service. The concept of baptism itself is significant across various Christian denominations, though specific rituals and interpretations may differ. The term bautismal serves to connect these practices and objects directly to this foundational religious event.
