baptism in the sea for children (and young people)


Explanation:
"Sea baptism" is accurate, but less picturesque (in my humble opinion) than "baptism in the sea".

The refernces below are from two travel brochures offering "baptisms in the sea".



Example sentence(s):
  • Boat ride to Tiberius. Fish dinner at Tiberius. Optional baptism in the Sea of Galilee at hotel.
  • Baptism in the sea from the river
