Baptism in Rome with the Pope's blessing
My friend has invited me to his son's baptism in Rome. I have never been to such a high profile event (the pope himself blessing the holy water) so I was really excited. It was a fantastic day clear skies and it was around 26C so a perfect day.
Baptism (from the Greek noun βάπτισμα baptisma; see below) is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption,[1] almost invariably with the use of water, into the Christian Church generally.[2][3] The canonical Gospels report that Jesus was baptized[4]—a historical event to which a high degree of certainty can be assigned.[5][6][7] Baptism has been called a holy sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also called christening,[8][9] but for others the word "christening" is reserved for the baptism of infants.[10] Baptism has also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations, they being called Baptism as a whole.

After the baptism my friend received this signed by the Pope the holy father Francis
While I don't agree with baptizing children (My opinion is that everybody should chose for themselves) it was a wonderful and beautiful event. The kid screamed a bit while getting baptized but the whole atmosphere in this old church in Rome and being allowed to attend this event was a wonderful experience.
Did you baptize your children???
