somewhere where i can find what white garment, oil, light, water, community have to do with baptism?

Answer 1

I am not Catholic, but your question seemed interesting, so I researched it. Here is what I found:

Baptism Information:
All those who are baptized are baptized into the death and the Resurrection of Jesus. Jesus exchanged our Death for His Life. The symbols of baptism are water, a white garment, oil and fire.

WATER:
Water, which gives and well as takes life is a symbol of both life and death. When we are baptized into the death of Jesus, we die with him upon the cross. When Jesus dies so does all sin and death. Our baptism does not end in death but continues with life. As Jesus is raised from the dead by the Father and given new life, so are we through the waters of baptism, raised to life in Jesus Christ. The waters of Baptism wash away Original Sin and make us a new creation in Christ.

THE WHITE GARMENT:
Once we have been claimed for Christ through the water of life we are clothed in a white garment. This white garment, the Church, tells us is an outward sign of our Christian dignity. Once we have put on Christ, we are to always walk as His followers.

CHRISM:
Chrism is a perfumed olive oil consecrated by the bishop during Holy Week. This oil is used to anoint the crown of the head of the person being baptized. In ancient times men and women were anointed to be proclaimers of God's message to the world. We are anointed to bring the good news to others by the way that we live our lives. We are anointed priest, prophet and king just as Christ was.

CANDLE:
The Light of Christ is passed on to us in the form of a lit candle, which was lit from the Paschal Candle that was blessed at the Easter Vigil. We are called to be the light of Christ in the world and we are asked to keep that light burning brightly.Many of these symbols, water, a white garment, and candle are used once again at the time of our burial. The casket is sprinkled with holy water, reminding us that we were baptized into Jesus death and resurrection. The white garment, the pall, is placed over the casket, symbolizing that we put on Christ here on earth and will be embraced by Christ through death. The Paschal Candle burns brightly at the head of the casket as a sign that Christ has shattered the darkness of sin and death.
