Christening is one of the most important occasions in the life of every child whose Christian parents believe in infant baptism. This is the day when children received their baptism and were introduced into the church. The christening ritual stems from the religious practice of immersing one-self into the water to wash away sins vary among religious denominations. There are Christian sects that reject infant baptism and contrasted it with ‘believer’s baptism,’ a practice of baptising an individual who personally confess his/her faith to God.
Today, infant christening is associated with the naming of a child to symbolize a new life, a new follower of Christ. It has also become some sort of a family tradition.
