Today was the christening day for the baby boy of the family!
And guess what mom! I was invited! An uncle of the baby was kind enough to take me with him and get some photos, since both the parents couldn't take me with them obviously!

Here are some photos of the little church the christening took place, it was in a small village called Trilofos, at the suburbs of Thessaloniki.







(translation: "for the poor")






For the sacrament of Baptism (Christening) the godparents must bring the following items to the church.

1 small white towel
1 large white towel
1 large white oil sheet
1 set of baptismal undergarments
1 large white candle
1 bottle of olive oil
1 bar of soap
1 baptismal outfit for the child
Martirika - Christening witness pins
A gold cross and chain
A baptismal box

So here they are!





And this is the baptismal Font where the baby was immersed thrice in the blessed water and pure olive oil was hallowed and administered to the various members of the baby's body.



Well it was a nice experience, something different from what I've seen! After the ceremony we went on a party with food and drinks and had a really great time!
Oh and the baby was so cute! He really enjoyed it and didn't drop a tear!

Love
