In Christianity, christening or baptism is the ritual act, with the use of water, by which a person is admitted to membership of the Church.

It is the second baptism after Lent, and despite a long ceremony, everything was charged with powerful emotions and happiness. The Baptism or Christening is a very important event in the Christian religion.

Baptism is immediately followed by chrismation and Holy Communion the next Liturgy, regardless of age.

Because the Sacrament of Baptism has genuine spiritual effect, certain criteria is required to fulfill to ensure its validity (ie to have really effect). Water baptism is one of these default rules.

Lent is over. Luca Cornel’s baptism marks the beginning of the summer event season.

It was a nice and warm May day. The event took place in Chicago Holly Nativity Church for the church and priest had a special significance forthe parents, Mirela and Cornel.

The ceremony was warm, made with grace and little Cornel-Luca received quiet the mystery of baptism. He actually was the first baby, that enjoyed so much the “bath”, I’ve ever seen.

We hope to repeat this experience at least one more baptism, if we give credence to the young parents of Luca.. they boast that they want a big family.

God help them!
