Baptism traditions from all over the world
Let's venture out and take a look at the diversity of baptism traditions. From elaborate rituals to specific symbols, each culture brings more color and meaning to this special event.
In many countries, such as Greece and Russia, baptism is accompanied by traditions such as myring (anointing the baby with holy oil) and dressing the child in white clothes.
In other countries, such as Brazil and Mexico, baptism is a celebration with lots of music and dancing, and children are often dressed in traditional costumes.

- What is done with the water from the first baptismal font and which people practice this custom?
Try to guess the answer and say where it is practiced.
- Answer : at the root of an old tree, so that the little one grows strong, healthy and wise like the tree. We do not know how wise the tree is, but it is an interesting habit. 2 . Where are almonds thrown after the baptism service and what does it symbolize?
- Let's see. do you know OK, fine. I tell you: when leaving the church, in Italy it is practiced, symbolizing many years that should be lived in happiness
- In which country does the grandfather dress the little one in baptism clothes?
- What you think? In Sweden! It is a symbolic gesture that connects the generations and adds an emotional touch to the ceremony.
- But in which culture are birds used to predict the future of the child at baptism?
- Let's guess! It's certainly not difficult. To be the Romanian tradition? We Romanians have a lot of quirks. Don't you believe? And to answer, here it is: A bird, usually a hen or a rooster, is released to see in which direction it flies and what significance it has for the child's future.

- Where do you think the baby's name is not said before baptism?
- Before answering, I ask myself: How not to call your child by name before baptism? It would seem strange to me.
However, do you know where this is practiced and why? In Scotland. Why? Because, a long time ago, it was believed that unbaptized little ones would be kidnapped by entities in the form of fairies, with not really benevolent intentions.
And if until now I have captured your attention (I hope) with some riddles in the form of questions, I will introduce you to the world of riddles, as you know them. You know, those questions that make us think about the intense work.
I hope you are rested, with a clear mind, to be able to guess, but it is not a problem because I will tell you anyway.
Answer: Hmmm, I think you answered "time", but it's not. Come on, try again. Okay, I'll tell you. Age! Don't be sad. Haven't you noticed that as we get older, we become wiser? And then is this not a reason for joy?
And the answer? Come on. do you know The plate and the cutlery.
Let the little one answer, it's easy. You answered, right? The letter R is the answer.
And the answer is... noise! 🙂 Well, you can't see it, but you certainly hear it, especially when they start to "shout".
And you? Gloves.
And here we are at the end of our adventure with riddles and baptism traditions! I hope you had some fun and discovered new and interesting things about how people celebrate this special moment around the world. Maybe we will write more in the future, if you like it.
