ARMENIAN BAPTISM CEREMONY
One of the sacraments of our faith is Baptism.


Baptism of R Kaprielian

   It is the offering of oneself to God or the presentation of the child by the godparent and accepting his message of salvation. It is the duty of Christian parents to see to it that their children are baptized when infants. Church canons strongly advise Baptism of the child by the 8th day after birth and up until the 40th day after birth.

The Baptism is normally conducted in the Armenian Apostolic Church, however under extreme emergencies if the child is of ill health and cannot be brought to the church; the priest may perform the sacrament in the home.

The Baptism service begins at the Door of the Church, then proceeds to the Baptismal Font and concludes at the Holy Altar.
