The role of baptismal priests
Did you know that in the Christian tradition, godparents are considered the second set of parents for the child? That's right, spiritual parents. Their role is not only to Christianize the child , but to be actively involved in the religious and moral education of the little one.
The godparents will have the honor of participating in important events in the child's life and providing emotional and sometimes material support (if applicable) for the harmonious growth of the child. Their role is a long-term commitment.
Do godparents have to be married?
After we have established the role of godparents, you probably want to know what is the first criterion to take into account in order to choose the right people.
If in order to be godparents, a couple must be married, exceptions can be made for baptism. Thus, future fathers do not have to be married, but they must go to church and prepare for the christening of the little one.
You should choose godparents according to the qualities they have as people and for their ability to be spiritual guides and emotional support for the child, regardless of their marital and even material status.
The choice of godparents should be based on the deep relationship and trust between the child's parents and potential godparents. It is essential that they are responsible people, with solid moral values, who can play an active role in the child's education and upbringing.

What are the criteria on the basis of which you choose godparents?
Now that you have learned that godparents can also be unmarried people, it is time to think about other criteria on the basis of which you will choose baptismal godparents. This decision should not be taken randomly or based on superficial criteria, but involves a series of personal, spiritual and, sometimes, even social considerations.
Traditionally, godparents are chosen from among close relatives or trusted friends of the family, considering the eternal bond that will form between the godfather and the child. They are seen as the second set of parents, having the role of guiding and supporting the child in his spiritual and moral journey.
The selection criteria vary from one family to another, but usually involve considerations such as moral integrity, emotional stability, as well as the ability to be present and involved in the child's life. In addition, special attention is paid to the compatibility between the religious values and beliefs of the parents and the child's family.

1 pair of baptism noses or more?
Have you thought about the potential parents for your child and you don't know who to choose? Did you know that you can choose more than one pair of noses? Whether you opt for a single pair of noses or consider two or more pairs, each option comes with its own advantages and challenges.
By opting for a single pair of noses, a strong and direct connection is created between them and the child, giving the noses the opportunity to be actively and constantly involved in the spiritual and personal life of their son or daughter. It also simplifies the organization of the event and the responsibilities.
On the other hand, the choice of two or more pairs of noses can respond to the desire to share this honor with several close people, or from the desire to include members of both families. This approach can bring a diversity of perspectives and experiences in the child's life, giving him more models to follow.
However, having multiple sets of nasi requires effective communication and careful coordination to maintain a balance between the desires and expectations of each pair of nasi. It is also important to consider the dynamics between the different pairs of parents and how this could influence their relationship with the child.
Regardless of the decision made, it is essential to think about the values and the type of relationship you want the future parents to have with the little one.
Traditions and customs for choosing baptism noses
Last but not least, we want to present you some traditions and customs related to the choice of baptism noses.
One of the most beautiful traditions related to the choice of noses is "asking for noses". This ceremony involves a formal visit of the child's parents to the home of those they wish to choose as godparents. Symbolic gifts will be given, such as a bottle of wine, cakes or cookies, signifying respect and appreciation for the chosen ones.
Also, you can even offer a cake specially made for this occasion, from the child (through the parents), with the message "Do you want to be my godparents?" It is a moment of celebration and joy, where the responsibilities and expectations of each party are discussed.
There is also the belief that godfathers should not refuse the honor of being chosen, this gesture being considered a bad omen. By accepting, the godparents undertake to be always present and to support both the child and his family.
On the day of the baptism , godparents have specific roles, but after the ceremony they are equally important. The godparents will organize a festive meal in honor of the child, marking the beginning of a new stage in the child's spiritual life.
The choice of godparents is, therefore, a process loaded with traditions and customs, which reflect spiritual values and which emphasize the importance of relations between godparents and parents and between godparents and children.
