Photo of the Day for March 1, 2011

Christening at Home (III), Tsjerablichy 2011.  Хрышчэньне ў хаце (частка ІII), Цераблічы 2011 год.

Father Aljaksandar of the Orthodox parish of the Holy Trinity baptizes a baby in a home.  During winter families will sometimes request Christening at home in order not to expose their newborn to bitter cold.  In the Orthodox tradition only the Godparents participate in the Christening; the child’s parents remain outside the place of baptism, whether in church or at home.
