Spring and the Easter season are popular times for Christenings and Baptisms. Babies as young as a few weeks are Baptized with water, beginning their religious journeys. During a Christening a baby is given a name while Godparents vow to care for child’s spiritual life and guide the on their path to faith.
This significant occasion is celebrated by family, friends and the entire church. Just like spring and Easter, a Baptism is about new beginnings.
