St Patrick teaching and baptising

And the maidens said as with one voice and one heart: 'Teach us with all diligence how we can believe in the heavenly king, so that we may see him face to face. Tell us, and we will do as you say.'

And Patrick said: 'Do you believe that through baptism you cast off the sin of your father and mother?'

They answered: 'We believe."

'Do you believe in penance after sin?'

'We believe.'

'Do you believe in life after death?

Do you believe in the resurrection on the day of judgement?'

'We believe.'

'Do you believe in the unity of the Church?'

'We believe.'

And they were baptized, with a white garment over their heads.
