There are several ways that Christians celebrate their faith, but the most popular and historical way is through a traditional baptism. For centuries Christians have used this ceremony as a means to purify the spirit and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. Although this is a tradition for newly converted adults it is also a longstanding cultural role for parents to baptize their babies, as well. Protestant ministers will pour water over the baby’s head as they say a prayer for them in front of family and friends. Catholic priests will offer a special blessing for the wellbeing of the child and the family.
Your child’s baptism, or christening if you prefer, is a special event. It is an amazing moment, and it deserves to be recognized and made truly memorable. Even though your baby won’t remember the day, you and your family will and your child will enjoy hearing stories about this event as he or she grows up. With a little planning, you can give your child a beautiful, memorable baptism that will serve as a strong religious foundation for them.
You may need to take a little chocolate or perhaps a few rounds of cocktail or any other booze you could get your hands on when you have to calm yourself down after a hard day’s job. All right, yeah I’m also to be held responsible for that one as well, except if I’m caught dead wearing a lampshade over my head after a few rounds of vodka… half-naked! Okay, bad example and I ask for forgiveness from everyone reading this after getting terrible dreams about me in that state of drunken trance.
