Somehow, I managed to keep a smile on my face as if I had no fears. The ceremony included Bible verses and singing. I received six gifts from my aunts and uncles: a Bible, a bouquet of flowers, a ring, a bracelet, a rosary and a tiara. Each of them was blessed by the father. Each gift I received held a meaning: closeness with family and with God, and the passage to womanhood.

On day 3 we were advised to wear more business like or dressier clothing. A simple black dress is flattering on everyone and is still super stylish. I know spaghetti strap is not very professional but I took a blazer just in case I felt too exposed (I didn't). I also stuck with minimal accessories so as not to over do.

In the Anglican Church baptism starts off by gathering hymns, pslam or anthem depending on the priest. After that is done the priest greets the community as respect. The Collect of the day is prayed and other prayers as well. After this the priest talks about the lesson from the scriptures which most often are from the bible , then they will be a presentation and examination of the candidate then the baptismal covenant is prayed to bless the baby towards the end they also pray prayers of thanksgiving and the priest will bless the baby over the water. When the baby is washed with the water the prayers of consecration over oils is prayed after this the

Baptism has many inextricable ties to the beliefs that are held so very tightly by the Christian church and its adherents. It is one of the many traditions of the faith that seeks to express aspects of the religion that are essential to its practice. Baptism is linked to beliefs about: spiritual rebirth through Christ who seeks to cleanse and purify each individual from their sins, admission into the Christian Church and its mission, faith in the Holy Trinity, particularly in the power of the Holy Spirit which seeks to bring knowledge of God to the world as well as the need for salvation from eternal damnation as emphasised in Lewis Sperry Chafer’s book Major Bible Themes which states that: “...baptism when practiced can be no more than an expression of faith and the hope...that the child will ultimately be saved.” Baptism also highlights the Christian beliefs based on faith and repentance-reconciling with God and accepting one’s role as His son/daughter, participation in the life, death and resurrection of Christ by being able to partake in celebrating His sacrifice for mankind, and finally the forgiveness of sins- turning towards a life filled with God’s guidance and righteous presence.

Between the ages of three and nine months, Greek Orthodox infants are baptized. This means that the infant is dipped in water, representing how Christ was also baptized. The ceremony takes place in the cathedral, with family and church members present. The priest conducts the ceremony, and parents and godparents of the child participate

I was being selfish and did not want anyone to see any of things until the ceremony; which was going to be held at the Iglesia Envangelica de Los Pinos in Colon. The only voices of reason where my father and my uncle. The women in family from my great grandmothers to my grandmothers were all going insane with the party and dresses.

Often held as a rite of passage and entrance into the Christian church, baptism is much more than just symbolic ritual. Baptism was commanded by Jesus Christ in the Great Commission recounted in the book of Matthew. Even though we are simplistically called to be obedient by being baptized the Christian church has long debated the aspects of this ordinance. Denominations are divided on the basic meaning, types and modes of baptism even two thousand years after the founding of the Christian church. Just as the other ordinance, the Lord’s Supper, congregations find themselves at odd with tradition, biblical interpretation and even individual understanding. However, the simple message of this awe inspiring act can be explained out of the

I wore a long brown skirt with a floral pink trim and a button shirt that matches the floral skirt. I was on the food committee and I contributed by cooking my dish the night before so that it will be hot and ready to be shared for the feast after the praise house service. I made sure I cooked a mass quantity of food, for the crowd that we would have.

While there is no description of an individual infant being baptized, the bible describes five separate household baptisms:

All Christians know about the Great Commission, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20, English Standard Version). In that command, Jesus tells us to baptize in the name of the Trinity. What does the word “baptism” mean? Baptimsa and sometimes baptismos, the Greek word origin of “baptism”, can translate to “immersion” or “bathing” without any religious implications (McGowan, 2014). Nearly every Christian church practices baptism with a religious implication; however, they do not agree on God’s activity in, the qualifications for admitting a person to, and methods of administering baptism. For instance, many churches do not baptize people until they become adults and make a profession of faith, while others encourage baptizing an infant soon after they are born. The practices and philosophy for baptism changed throughout its use in the New Testament, the Early Church, and the Medieval era.

The aboriginals have held this ceremony for many years, yet they have not made it anywhere. They have been around longer than us but they have not reached our level understanding of technology (clothing), firepower, industrialization, style, and form of travel. They wear demonic masks while performing their ceremony, they could even be praying to the devil.  This means they need to be assimilated into the modern european culture, they need to learn how to become accustomed to praying to the Lord every night and not holding their devilish ceremonies, this is why we felt the need to ban their non- christian ceremony

The sacrament of baptism is the initiation into the faith of Christianity. It is a ceremony in which a person is cleansed of sin symbolically via immersion in water and given the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. This is the transitional process of when a person becomes a Christian. When Jesus Christ returns, the newly appointed Christian will become an immortal child of God (Haughee 2016). Over the past decade, infant baptism has become a topic of controversy among Christian societies. There are various opinions and interpretations of faith and viable arguments that support and question both sides of infant baptism.

Have you ever felt so out of place at an event? This is how I felt when attending a friend’s Catholic wedding. I have attended many weddings; on the other hand, this was completely different than the standard wedding I imagined. The setting of the church, the discipline the Catholics have with their religion, and the wedding ceremony was nothing I imagined when being invited to this wedding.

The night before the wedding, which is the third day, the bride and the groom were held in their individual places where they were staying. Each party had family and friends show up at their places and had a huge celebration. They
