Day of Christening Should Be Special and Memorable!
As a member of Roman Catholic Church, I was baptized. When my baby girl was born, it was only natural for me to consider baptizing her as well.
Baptism is one of most important Christian traditions. Where I live it's usual for christenings to be held on Sundays.
Christening is more important to parents, godfathers, grandparents and other relatives that are usually invited for this event, than to baby itself. Babies don't understand this since they are usually too small to grasp meaning of christening!
Still, when they grow up they like to listen stories about their baptism and look at pictures taken on that day! So do parents!
Here you'll find greatest selection of christening gowns and dresses for baby girls and some accessories and gift ideas for godfathers, grandparents and others!
Short Introduction to Christian Baptism
Most Christian churches practice infant baptism. Among them are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Anglican Communion, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Church of the Nazarene, the Reformed Church in America, the United Church of Canada, the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the Continental Reformed.
The exact details of the baptismal ceremony vary among Christian denominations. Many follow a prepared ceremony, called a rite or liturgy. In a typical ceremony, parents bring their child to their congregation's priest or minister. The minister then applies water to the child. As the water touches the child, the minister utters the words: "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"
Most Christians baptize their baby by either pouring water (affusion) or by sprinkling water (aspersion) on the child. Some Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions baptise their babies by totally immersing them in the font.
"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway."
Acts 16:31-33 (King James Version)
Treasuring Christening Gowns
Dearest Memories of Baby Christening
Although it is not required, many parents and godparents chose to dress their baby in a white gown called a christening gown for the baptism ceremony. Christening Gowns often become treasured keepsakes that are used by many other children in the family and handed down from generation to generation. Traditionally, this gown is white or slightly off white and made with many laces, trims and intricate details. In the past, a gown was used for both baby boys and girls. In more modern times, it has become appropriate to baptize boys in christening outfits. Also made of white or off white fabric, the christening outfit consists of a romper with a vest or other accessories. After the baptism ceremony, these articles of clothing are preserved as a memory of this very special and significant event in the child's life.
