  • Children's Bible

Why is this necessary when the kid, most likely, will not even remember this strange trip to church, but modern parents do not differ in the strength of faith in the Most High? Isn't it easier to do without unnecessary fuss? What is the point of this strange "church" trip and the babies crying at the altar, taking a special "course" for godparents and sponsoring the church? As always, there are much more questions than answers to them, and, nevertheless, we will try to answer most of them ...

razvitie-krohi.ru

Baptism is one of the brightest and most joyful events in the life of parents and the baby himself. Of course, the child is still too young to consciously choose his own faith and take full part in this process. However, involvement in traditions, the conduct of this ritual will certainly leave its mark.

Among the Persians and Egyptians, the Phoenicians and Chaldeans, immersion in water also had a sacred meaning. The Romans and Greeks also paid great value ablution, which cleansed them not only physically but spiritually. By the way, the tradition of washing babies came from the Romans, who washed their children after 8 or 9 days after birth. It was at this time that the child was given a name.

The Jews also had a ritual of ablution in a mikvah called twila. In the course of this rite, the believers got rid of and washed themselves from impurities. The ceremony was performed in the Jordan River, and was conducted by John the Baptist himself, who told about the imminent meeting with the Messiah. Baptism for the Jews was a kind of sign of repentance for the earthly sins of those involved in the process. Jesus Christ himself took part in the baptism, despite the fact that he had no sins.

Be that as it may earlier, today it is necessary to approach the ceremony very carefully, observing traditions and following certain requirements.

The meaning of the rite of baptism


mygazeta.com

As a rule, long before the baby is born, parents are already beginning to think about whom to take as godparents. Today this tradition has somewhat lost its original meaning.

Once upon a time, in the distant dark times When the mortality rate was incredibly high, the godparents, taking part in this ceremony, gave their agreement to raise the child (both spiritual and physical), took on a huge responsibility if the child's parents left our world. Now, fortunately, this happens extremely rarely, and the function of godparents is reduced to at least annual congratulations to their godchildren on name days and birthday, at most - to spiritual education and taking care of your wards.

Baptism is a special sacrament, during which a person unites with God, opening for himself the way to wonderful life(secular and spiritual). Baptism is a symbol of faith and hope, as well as a huge invisible connection between all family members, immeasurable in its strength and depth.

Parental consent is not always sufficient for baptism. So, before the child turns 7 years old, it is allowed to carry out the ceremony only with the consent of the child's parents, because only during this period they bear full responsibility for the child before God. In the period from 7 to 14 years old, to carry out the ritual, it will be necessary to obtain the consent of not only the parents, but also the child himself, who can already make a decision. For those who have crossed the age of 14, parental consent is no longer required - they can independently make such decisions.

When is baptism performed?

However, today there are often cases when adults are baptized. Despite the recommendations to carry out baptism as early as possible, it is the baptism of an adult that is considered the most complete and meaningful process, since a person approaches this consciously.

There is one more interesting fact about when to baptize children. Previously, when baptism was approached more seriously, people chose a later time for this ceremony. They wanted to enjoy sinful deeds all their lives, and they resorted to baptism almost on their deathbed in order to enter into the life of heaven cleansed from defilement and sinfulness. However, the church quickly saw through the evil plan of the cunning and began to fight this tendency, demanding that baptism be performed on the eighth day after the birth of the baby.

It is not recommended that godfathers of the kid were his own parents, and we have already discussed the reasons for this - the child must have reliable rear in case something happens to his parents.
Once you have chosen godparents for your child, they take on tremendous responsibility for the process. And the main manifestation of their responsibility is the choice of a gift for the godson or for the goddaughter. The chosen gift will testify to the reverent and touching attitude towards the child, as well as to the very event that occurs only once in the life of the baby.

What to give to the godson for christening?

The first and most important gift from godparents is a cross. It is not at all necessary that it be produced from noble and precious metals... The most important thing is to make a gift from the bottom of your heart. And the question of the cost of the gift should depend solely on the financial capabilities and on the views of the godparents.

By the way, even a simple wooden cross sometimes looks much more attractive than platinum and gold "congeners".

Today there is a lot of controversy about who should give this attribute - godmother or godfather. In fact, it doesn't matter at all. If you want to purchase valuable gift, but you are strapped for money, you can just negotiate with each other and purchase the cross stitch you like.

Another indispensable gift from godfathers is new clothes. This is not an indicator that the parent's parents do not take good care of the child or dress him well enough. There is a secret meaning here.

The death of sin is one of the most important symbols of such an event as baptism, during which a person is reborn for a righteous life, to follow religious canons and the path to God. New clothes- a symbol of rebirth after the death of sin.

For new things, they usually choose a new shirt or dress, as well as a new towel or a new cut of fabric, which is used to wipe the baby after washing with baptized water.

You can always sew a shirt yourself without spending huge sums on purchased clothes. Considering that the child will wear these clothes, most likely, only once in his life, and the rest of the time it will lie in the parental bins, here you will not have to have special talents and knowledge in sewing. To give the product a special charm, you can simply perform delicate embroidery (initials, symbolic drawing) or decorate the edges with exquisite lace. Agree, handmade gifts have always been worth their weight in gold.

In any case, a gift from godparents to their godchildren should be imbued with the special spirit of this holiday. It can be a children's Bible in pictures, a personalized icon, etc.

A gift in the form of a small cute night light is perfect, since baptism is the light that triumphed over darkness. Often godparents donate silver spoons with the names of their godchildren. However, this custom came only recently. It is believed that such a spoon will help the child retain teeth during the period when the first complementary foods will be introduced.

If you want to emphasize special deep meaning holiday, it will be great if you make a toy yourself, knitting or sewing it yourself.

For more hardworking and painstaking, religious and attentive to details guests, we can recommend embroidering on a blanket or towel given to the child, a protective prayer that will accompany the child throughout his life.

If we are talking about an invited man with golden hands, then you too can amaze everyone with your skills, especially if you have a jigsaw or a lathe. A little fantasy, a lot of love - and an excellent developing rattle, toy, chair, pyramid or cubes can come out from under your hand.

If you are a practical person and do not like such sentiments, you can directly ask the parents of the baby what they need for a more harmonious and full development child. Car seat, playpen, feeding chair, crib carousel, as well as necessary gift in the form of packaging diapers - will always help in the hard work of parents.

Congratulations from parents on this bright day will also not be superfluous. Agree which of the invitees can arrange flower delivery to your home, order a beautiful themed cake or give a basket with sweets or fruits. A wonderful gift a good photo album will become for them, in which you can place the most joyful events in the life of the baby and parents.

And if the baptism is in an adult?

If an adult has made a decision to be baptized, this speaks of his serious and conscientious approach, as well as a deep understanding and attitude towards the sacrament. Here the godparents and those invited need to be more attentive to actions and gifts, as they have the most sacred and deep meaning for the hero of the holiday.

When deciding what to give an adult godson for christening, you can rely on the experience of infant baptism. It will always be appropriate to donate a cross, a holy icon, in whose name an adult is baptized, a baptismal shirt. Such gifts will be especially appreciated by people of a conscious age, however, as well as gifts made with their own hands ...


cs1.livemaster.ru

It is not at all necessary to ideally make a gift (sew, craft, knit). Even with minor flaws, such things will have special value and attractive power. You can not embroider the whole shirt, for example, but only the cuffs or collar. Choose beautiful threads, gold or silver.

Give preference to practical gifts for an adult godson, but so that they have their own flavor. You can give mittens, socks, knitted scarves, sweaters, hats.

To give or not to give gifts to godparents?

The tradition of gifts for godparents is not very common, but it will never be superfluous.

Why is it worth giving gifts to godfathers?

1. Often the choice of godparents for many comes down to purely mercantile interests. That is, the relatives and parents of the baby pay unreasonably great attention to how expensive and useful gift godfathers will be able to give. So a gift from your parents will indicate that their material abilities are not at all important to you.

2. A gift for godparents is a symbol of the fact that you value their dedication and dedication, their willingness to take responsibility for your child. The gift will show that you perceive your godparents as new family members, whom you will always be glad to see in your home.

3. Present godparents Is a kind of wish for a long and healthy life, happiness and a bright future.

Christening: foreign traditions


upload.wikimedia.org

Baptism in a Catholic and Orthodox Church has a number distinctive features, however, the meaning is the same both there and there - the path to the light.

Most Western countries profess the Catholic religion as the main state religion, so there are some differences from our traditions.

When baptized in the Catholic Church, the godparents give the baby not a cross, but a candle. It is on the feast of the baptism that the first presented candle is lit for the first time. The process of its burning symbolizes the filling of worldly life with true light, goodness. And godparents can give a cross later. After baptism, the candle will play its role several more times - it must be obtained on the day of the First Communion, and after - during the Wedding.


kylagina.ru

Remember that such a bright day is real holiday... Filled with meaning and light for both the child and his parents. However, the peculiarities of its implementation will primarily depend on you, and not on the accepted canons and rules.

Parents consider the day of the birth of a child to be one of the happiest. But a little time passes and they are preparing for another important event - the sacrament of the baptism of an infant. First of all, they choose the godparents for the baby. Then the date is determined and preparation begins. It is customary to give gifts to the baby on this day. Spiritual mom and dad always present certain gifts so that in the future they will become a talisman for a child. Boys and girls present may vary. Parents, close relatives and family friends also do not come to christenings empty-handed.

Many guests cannot decide on a gift, because baptism is a sacred rite, therefore presents should be appropriate. To help deal with important nuances, it is important to understand that there are two options for surprises:

  • obligatory: they are presented by the baby's godparents;
  • ordinary: guests choose on their own or consult with the child's parents what exactly the baby needs at this time.

Before the ceremony, future spiritual parents hold a conversation with the priest, who tells what things must be taken with you on the day of the sacrament.

Many parents make out festive table in a certain style, which symbolizes the conduct of the rite of baptism

What godmother and dad should give

Godmother and father bear great responsibility. On the day of the sacrament of baptism, they must give the child:

  • baptismal outfit: dress, cap, socks for the girl. For a boy, it's just a christening shirt. In cold weather, you can add the kit warm jacket... Clothes must be white which symbolizes purity and integrity. The godmother buys the outfit;

    You can order such a kit with personalized embroidery for the baby.

  • kryzhma: a special baptismal towel, which is also presented by the godmother. On sale there are special canters, which are made of dense natural fabric white. The set may also include a thin cotton swaddle to wrap the baby in it, and then in the canopy. The fabric is usually decorated with embroidery with church symbols and patterns. There must be a cross on it - a symbol of Orthodoxy. V recent times many order kryzhma with embroidered name baby on the fabric;

    After the baptism ceremony, the baby is wrapped in a kryzhma. This fabric is not washed, but stored in the house where the baby lives. She is considered strong amulet from all diseases.

  • pectoral cross: main gift given by the godfather. It can be any metal, not necessarily gold or silver. Before conducting the sacrament, the priest must consecrate him. You can immediately buy a cross in the church. It is not necessary to donate the chain, but the godparents can do joint gift and present it to the baby. Most often, an ordinary rope is used, and the chain is bought later, for example, on the first birthday of the crumbs or put on the child when he grows up.

    Traditionally, silver is considered a sacred metal, therefore silver crosses are most often bought.

Sometimes parents cannot choose both godparents for a child. In this case, there must be a godmother for the girl and a godfather for the boy. Then the godmother gives the baby a cross, in addition to the other obligatory gifts for the baby. And if a male baby has only a godfather, then he buys only a cross, and the child's parents give the canopy and the baptismal outfit. Although if the spiritual father wants, he can buy everything he needs himself.

Is it appropriate to give money

This question worries many guests, because not always adults can choose the really necessary gift. And I don't want to give something that will never come in handy. In some cases, parents themselves even ask to make a present in monetary terms, and they themselves will buy what is needed for their baby. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with a gift with money. But it remains open main point: how much is considered acceptable. In fact, it all depends on the financial capabilities of the donor and the salary in the region. On average, today a gift in the form of three to five thousand rubles will become quite normal. Of course, those who can and want to present more in an envelope can do it quite well.

Baby baptism day - big holiday both for the child and for his parents.

Some may puzzle over this question for weeks. And when you go into a children's hypermarket, your eyes run wild - the choice is enormous! Another complication is that a child of 1 year old does not understand much. But like any person, we want to present something that will delight the child and benefit him. Let's consider the possible options for a gift to the goddaughter for 1 year.

You can focus on one or more of the following categories:

Regardless of your final choice, try to make the gift bright and attractive primarily for the child. And of course safe.

But to make it clearer, let's immediately outline the boundaries and find out if there is no need to give the goddaughter for 1 year.

What should not be gifted?

Oddly enough, but there is such a list. True, it was formed from the experience of many people, based primarily on the safety of use, and not on the principle of "like it or not." Small children have not yet known the world, so they will be interested in everything.

What not to present:

  1. Toys Bad quality(conspicuous "Chinese products", for the production of which untested materials and paints are used);
  2. Objects containing small details (the baby can tear them off and, like anything he likes, can be pulled into his mouth);
  3. Sweets (at this age, an excessive passion for such a product can develop a child's allergies for life and other health problems);

There are also those gifts that can be attributed to both recommended and undesirable at the same time.

They are traditional gifts, how:

  1. Gold jewelry;
  2. Silver spoons;
  3. Cross or small icon;

Of course, such gifts are very precious, but they will be more appropriate for the christening and will be incomprehensible, without any practical benefit for the child himself.

A little girl is unlikely to appreciate gold earrings. But the decision is of course yours. Perhaps the child already has enough gifts in the form of toys, games and other things. Then such expensive gifts will be appropriate.
