orthodox baptism

this is the most important part, when the priest is doing the full imersion of the child into the water, for threee times, which symbolises the ritual death of the mortal body, the three days before the Ressurection and the reborn of a new spiritual being.
yesterday was my nephew's Alex baptism :)

Thanks for the shot and the story. In Catholic Church they only pour it about the head. Lucky the child is so small otherwise it must have a anxious moment.
