Summary/Abstract: The article presents the religious ritual that is the rite of the sacrament of baptism as a means of forming moral values and attitudes. The purpose of the presented research is an attempt to show the formative character of the baptismal ritual and its communicative character, which become apparent through the analysis of the individual components of the baptismal rite. The synthesis made allows for a better understanding of the individual signs, which evoke the specific content of the Christian message of conversion and call for a more conscious following of the path of faith.
