40 Days of Baptism: 34

I offer today 3 pictures of the baptism of Jesus. 

This pictures comes from 1330, it is from an Armenian Cathedral in Iran. It also appears on the front cover of Curtis Freeman's Contesting Catholicity: Theology for Other Baptists (Baylor, 2015).

This painting is called 'The River' and is by John August Swanson (1987). At the bottom is Jesus being baptised and then above are all these other persons using the river.

I have long loved the middle one; thank you for showing me the other two. I love how surprised Jesus looks in the first one. Do you think the water was cold?
