Our pastor sprinkles water on the baby's head with his fingers.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you!Jewelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653679318435825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22628571.post-30220206955262650952008-01-21T01:00:00.000-05:002008-01-21T01:00:00.000-05:00We too went for the baptism of our friend's baby yesterday evening :). She was such a sweet heart and never cried thro the entire service. I remember Tarun's baptism. fFrom the moment we stepped into church, he started crying.. he became silent only after the immersion in holy water.. <BR/><BR/>Our baptism in the end involves the baby being dipped.. may b in 2 jug fulls water.. All churches have a small structure that can hold water, where the immersion takes place.. The baby is immersed sitting position almost .. and the water is taken by the priest and a cross is made on the head.. drip drip.. thats the end of the ceremony.<BR/><BR/>check out the structure i am talking about<BR/>http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=baptism&gbv=2<BR/><BR/>its like the 3rd pic on the page with the title ''Baptism of Beatrice Anna ''. <BR/>Our church also has a similar structure.<BR/><BR/>Is ur baptism also the same kind?Anoojahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10943321433193009759noreply@blogger.com
