St. Augustine, first as a presbyter then as a bishop of Hippo, prepared catechumens for baptism. In accordance with the practice of the Church of the time, this preparation took place during Lent. The proper preparation started more or less two weeks before the Easter Vigil. The most important elements of that preparation were so-called “traditio” and “redditio” of the Symbol and of the Lord’s Prayer. Catechumens had to learn these prayers by heart. The mystagogical catechesis started on Easter Sunday. In Hippo, if one can believe preserved texts, a Bishop gave only one sermon on the mystery of the baptism and one on the Eucharist. The other sermons during Easter Week were devoted to an interpretation of the Gospels saying about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

A human life is immersed in the world of signs. They are means of interpersonal communication. The signs are also present in the liturgy. One of them is water. This element of the universe created by God, Jesus Christ made an effective sign of His grace. The power of the Holy Spirit accompanies the washing with the baptismal water. Its sanctifying power makes a neophyte a new creature, a child of God. Water as a liturgical sign appears in the liturgy of Paschal Vigil, where it is explained through liturgical texts. The contents marked with this sign actualize in the Baptism ceremony.
