preparing greek orthodox infant baptism

In the second weekend of january my cousin let baptized her lovely and cute girl in the greek orthodox church.
I was the photographer for this day, and really proud to do the job. It was a nice day, and the little child didn't cried until the moment after the baptism come. I think she liked the water, and what she didn't liked was that the nice priest taken her away from that.

This picture (one of the few without people inside) shows a part of the table next to the baptism font. You can see the anointing oil. left is the one that the godparent use and the right one is that of the priest. After the anointing and baptizing the priest use the scissors to cut a strand of the childs hair. Behind you can see in gold the holy bible.

I hope you enjoy watching this picture as I do.
