Saturday evening, after church, we attended a baptismal. It had been a while since I've been to one and I always wonder what is an appropriate gift. But in the end I gave a beautiful cross for the child.
The ceremony was part of the Mass. Afterwards there was a nice dinner (the father of the child is a chef). Since this is an Italian community the meal was Italian --pasta and meatballs with a nice sweet sauce, salad and plenty of garlic bread to go around. As it turns out the gardnfather of the child had a birthday Friday so they surprised him with cake. Wow, two cakes...I was happy!
Baptismals are always a joyous time. It's like a new phase in life ;-)
