Christening of An Infant/Child/Baby


Essentials Of The Ceremony:  Although each religious denomination is different, the essentials of a Christening ceremony are broadly similar. The child generally wears a Christening Gown or Christening outfit, usually white in color. Undershirts may have a symbolic cross embroidered upon them. A bib and blanket are possible additions to the ceremony and can be kept in the child's keepsake box. Other possible additions are a satin or eyelet covered bible that the minister of the ceremony could bless or a satin boutonniere or bracelet.  Also, a Christening Bowl is often used by the Pastor/Priest along with a satin cloth or handkerchief. 

Appropriate Gifts For A Christening Ceremony:

  • a monetary gift in the child's name
  • a photograph album (perhaps monogrammed with the baby's name)
  • an iden
  • earrings
  • Bible

A gift from the Parents to the Godparents of the baby is sometimes given to commemorate the occasion.

 

 

What Are the Types of Christening Services ?  There are basically three sorts of Christening ceremonies which are performed by Ordained Pastors/Priests:

  • Blessing - based on what Christ did when children were brought to him: "He took the children in his arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them" (Mark 10:13-16).  This is about receiving God's unconditional love.
  • Baptism - the ceremony or sacrament of admitting a person into Christianity. 
  • Christening - the act or ceremony of baptizing and giving a name to an
  • tification bracelet of gold or silver
  • cross and heart necklaces
  • infant.

To some extent the different emphases above overlap in some cases, and an atmosphere of thanksgiving for the child's birth and life is common to all three.
