Through the three-fold immersion in the waters of '''Baptism''' in the Name of the Holy Trinity, one dies to the old ways of sin and is born to a new life in Christ. Orthodoxy encourages the baptism of infants. The Baptism of adults is practiced when there was no previous baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity.

The Sacrament of '''Chrismation''' (Confirmation) immediately follows baptism and is never delayed until a later age. In the Sacrament of Chrismation, the priest anoints the various parts of the body of the newly-baptized with Holy Oil. The Sacraments of initiation always are concluded with the distribution of Holy Communion to the newly-baptized. There is never a time when the young are not part of God's people.
