Between 800-1,000 people congregated to watch Ohio State football players help facilitate a Christian baptism ceremony outside of Curl Market Sunday, with at least 60 attendees being baptized by the end of the night.

Senior running back TreVeyon Henderson, senior defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau, graduate wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, former Buckeyes wide receiver Kamryn Babb and more Ohio State football players helped lead the ceremony, which was jointly hosted by various Christian churches and organizations based in Columbus.

Baptism is a Christian sacrament of initiation that signifies one’s entrance into the religion, according to ActiveChristianity.org. The rite — which symbolizes new life — allows one to publicly identify with the Christian faith and lifestyle, the website states.
