Pope Francis asked the faithful to learn the date of their Baptism and celebrate it like a feast day. This was at the General Audience in St Peter’s Square on Wednesday, 8 January.

‘The concept of “sacrament” is at the heart of our Christian faith and sends us back to an event of grace in which God makes himself present and acts in our life’, explained the Holy Father.
