# Ambrose baptises Augustine at Milan at Easter 387, a public entry into Catholic communion

Date: 387

## The fact

At Easter 387 in Milan, as Confessions tells it, Ambrose baptised Augustine together with Adeodatus and Alypius. The instrument is that public rite. It is not a unique theology treatise and not a later painting of a garden voice. Augustine of Hippo's documented role is: Ambrose performed the rite. Adeodatus and Alypius were baptised with him as Confessions tells it. He did not baptise himself.

## Context

Ambrose is the named bishop. Sharing the font with the two companions is required. Manichaean years are the exit-from. Priestly ordination at Hippo in 391 is a different office. Monica dies at Ostia in the same year-file, a neighbouring loss not stored as his act. The setting of Ambrose baptises Augustine at Milan at Easter 387, a public entry into Catholic communion is the public file around 0387-04-24. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
