What we have seen in these late fourth-century preachers is a rite still integrated that proceeds from opening exorcism through baptism various anointings, laying on of hands or signing or scaling, and concludes with the eucharist. A fullness of sign is evident. Baptism is done in an abundance of water, usually baptism is compared to death and the operative verbs are “descend” or “plunge” and "ascend" or “go out.” Images of the womb and Christ's baptism also occur. Care is exercised that those baptized, except for children, have a full period of instruction prior of instruction prior to baptism Egeria, a Spanish woman who visited Jerusalem about 384 AD., tells us of the bishop in Jerusalem that "during the forty days he goes through the whole Bible" and “after five weeks teaching they [the elect ] receive the Creed.” They are told “during the eight days of Easter after you have been baptized” baptism will be explained “Then, the bishop expounds the mysteries and interprets them.”
