Greek Orthodox baptism

On a sunny Sunday a couple of weeks ago me and my husband baptized our daughter. The Greek Orthodox baptism is a bit different then a Protestant or Catholic one. First of all the baby should be completely naked baby - symbolizing birth, then dipped in water three times, and having a bit of hair cut off. The ceremony finishes with the baby being smeared with olive oil -  a tradition from the ancient Greeks. Our little sunshine was happy for the most part of the ceremony. Afterwards we have a nice lunch with family and friends. The church is located in the beautiful seaside suburb Vouliagmeni and opened just two years ago. The architecture is very special and modern. I think it is one of the most beautiful churches in Greece, very light and bright . Well worth a visit!
