What is a Christening

February 2011

A Christening is a holy rite or liturgical ceremony that takes place within the Christian church, only amidst certain denominations, under the aid of a priest or preacher, with the family's presence, alongside the community of church members.

Infant baptism, involves a priest, the family, and the church. They all gather together and they perform a religious rite on the child. The priest sprinkles water, meant to symbolize the blood of Christ, on the child. He then chants some words, and the parents nod their heads or give their approval. The whole church watches the ceremony publicly so there's no denying it.
