Male - ChristianBaptism in the ancient and medieval world
Baptism was performed predominantly by immersion from the Jordan and mikvah immersion pools through the time of Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century. This thread will present the evidence with specific examples from literature of the period and archaeological sites.

What if you didn't live anywhere near the Jordan?

My baptism was done in late fall. I appreciated the deviation from the Didache then
Even so, it wasn't that warm!

The Didache is a composite document and was updated to reflect practice current at the time. So for example, immersion was updated to pouring water three times, etc. Cyprian however was the first in 250 AD to practice pouring and then only in the case of illness, first for Novatian.

There is a baptismal font called the Barnabas Font beneath ground level near San Eustorgio in Milan Italy. This may be the earliest known outside the mikvah of Israel and may date from the first century. A legend (?) says it was used by Barnabas who first came to the region. A Christian cemetery dating from the 2nd century is nearby.
My books on counseling and theology are at www.counsellorpublishing.com My latest is "Ancient and Medieval Baptismal Fonts" and includes many examples I have photographed on recent trips to Europe and the Mediterranean region. Another book is "Radical Christianity: Peace and Justice in the New Testament" that reviews biblical teaching as well as references to the early church fathers on matters of non-violence and wealth. A third book is "If There Is No God: Meditations On Believing" addressing issues of morality, ultimate judgment, unique human value, meaning of life, and much more.
