Last Saturday I attended a baby's christening, in which Chris' parents are Godparents to the little girl. It was my first time at a christening so I was pretty excited to see the rituals carried out at the ceremony. It was held at a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church in Marrickville. The walls, ceiling and stage (is that what you call the front section where the priests stand?) are decorated with paintings of Greek Gods and their religious symbols.
After the christening we went to a reception place, also in Marrickville, to celebrate the baby girl's 1st birthday. There was so much food that I was glad I wore a skirt with an elastic waist band!
