Christening Catering
Greetings on the arrival of your brand-new child! You may want to get your child christened if you practice Christianity. An infant or person is formally welcomed into the Christian community at a christening, which is frequently used interchangeably with baptism. A clergyperson officiates the ceremony and initiates several rituals, such as:
- Blessing/Anointing of the baby
- Selection and introduction of godparents
- Granting the baby a Christian name
After the formal Christening ceremony, most folks continue with the christening party with family and friends.
