Hey, there's a kid in there!!!

Orthodox Christians believe that baptism ought always to be done by full immersion. (In fact, βαπτίζω, from which the word "baptism" is derived, means to immerse.) They do not--as do most Christians who practice infant baptism--make an exception with infants. You won't catch an Orthodox priest sprinkling water on a baby and trying to pass it off as baptism. No sir. The baby goes all the way down into the water. Three times! Yeah, that's another thing. Orthodox Christians practice triple immersion. One time down for each person of the Trinity.
