(μύησις , initiation), a designation of baptism among the Greek fathers, because they considered it to be the admittance of men to all the sacred rites and mysteries of the Christian religion. This term, as well as μυσταγωγία, of frequent occurrence in the writings of Cyril of Jerusalem, was intimately connected with the secret discipline, and fell into disuse with the termination of that system.
