"Baptism was one of the most important weapons against evil. According to Christian belief, an unbaptized person remains a "victim of demons". According to tradition, baptism also recalls the miracle of the ancient crossing of the Red Sea. Under the protection of the sacrament of baptism, believers pass through the dangerous waters of worldly life, but the devil drowns in the waters, just as Pharaoh's army drowned in the crashing waves of the Red Sea.

""A keresztség volt az egyik legfontosabb fegyver a gonosz ellen. A keresztény hit szerint a kereszteletlen ember a "démonok áldozata" marad. A hagyomány szerint egyébként a keresztség a hajdani vörös-tengeri átkelés csodáját is idézi. A keresztség szentségének oltalmában a hívők átjutnak a világi élet veszélyes vizein, de az ördög belefullad a vizekbe, ahogy annak idején a fáraó hadserege fulladt bele az összecsapódó Vörös-tenger hullámaiba."
