Fun Facts About LDS Baptism!
The Great Number Eight
In the LDS faith, children are usually baptized when they turn eight years old. This age is considered the “age of accountability,” a time when a child is old enough to understand right from wrong and make the personal choice to follow the teachings of Jesus. It is a very big birthday celebration!
Wearing White as Snow
Everyone who gets baptized wears white clothing. Artistically, this is a powerful symbol. White represents purity, cleanliness, and a fresh new beginning. Just like a blank canvas waiting for a masterpiece, the white clothes symbolize a heart that is ready to be filled with goodness and light.
The Gift of a Constant Companion
After the baptism in water, there is a special blessing to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. This is often described as a “still small voice” or a warm feeling in the heart. It acts as a comforting guide, helping children know which choices are right as they grow up.
Coloring Tips for Your LDS Baptism Masterpiece
- Mastering the Shades of White: Since the baptismal clothes are white, coloring them can be a fun artistic challenge! Instead of leaving the paper blank, use very light shades of blue, lavender, or grey to create soft shadows where the fabric folds. This gives the clothing depth and makes it look like real, soft fabric rather than just empty space.
- Creating Realistic Water Effects: For scenes featuring the baptismal font or water, try layering colors. Start with a light turquoise base, then add swirls of darker blue to show movement. If using colored pencils, leave small white streaks or use a white crayon to create the look of shimmering light reflecting off the water’s surface.
- Adding a Spiritual Glow: To capture the spiritual nature of the event, consider using warm yellows, soft golds, or pale oranges around the characters. A gentle gradient in the background – fading from a bright center to a softer color at the edges – can mimic a radiant, peaceful light surrounding the moment.
