Now that your family has grown, it's time to think about and plan the big baptism ceremony. Surely, memories of your wedding are flooding your mind – choosing the location, the invitations, the church, the outfit – and you're already feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, organizing your little one's baptism is much simpler, as it is usually a smaller event, the party of which can take place either in a restaurant or at home.
The adventure begins with a checklist that you will need to fill out with all the aspects you need to resolve. Most people choose the same church and restaurant used for the wedding, as it is easier to discuss the menu and organization, having already had previous experience.
However, baptism is different because it's about your baby now. You'll need a few essentials, like clothes and a baptism outfit .
What is a baptism kit?
The baptismal kit is a set of several essential items used during the ceremony. Traditionally, it is the godparents who purchase it, but you can consult with them regarding the design, colors, or other preferred details. The baptismal kit symbolizes purity and blessing, having an important role in the Christian Orthodox tradition.
If you've taken a look around stores or online, you've probably noticed a variety of sets, each more beautiful than the next, available at different price points. They vary in quality, which is why it's recommended to check them carefully, as there may be surprises.

What should a baptism kit contain and what does each piece in it mean?
A baptism kit is a set of several items needed during a religious ceremony. If you have never experienced such an event before, I will present you with all its elements, their meaning, and how they are used:
it A large baby towel – this will be used when the little one is removed from the baptismal font, with the godmother drying him off immediately after the bath. The towel should be made of 100% cotton to absorb water quickly and not irritate the baby's skin.
it Soap – will be used by the priest to wash his hands before the baptism of the little one.
it The bottle of myrrh – must be filled with sunflower or olive oil in advance, and is blessed during the service so that the baby can be anointed. It can also be used the next day, after the traditional bath, and/or whenever you deem appropriate.
it Priest towel – this is necessary for the priest to dry himself both after contact with water and after using soap.
it Baptismal sash – is used to better secure the baptismal cloth, which will be used after the child is removed from the baptismal font.
it The shroud - after baptism, the child will need to be wrapped in this shroud, which symbolizes purity.
it Storage box – will help you transport and organize all your items as best as possible, so you have them at hand when you need them.
In addition to the above, there are also more complete sets, which include a special outfit for a fairy tale baptism and a candle, both essential for this important day. Another useful tip is to have a small toy with you to entertain your little one during the ceremony and calm him down if he gets restless. It is important to note that all materials must be of the best quality, to provide the baby with maximum comfort on this day, especially since the event can be quite stressful for him.
What should you pay attention to when looking for a baptism kit?
it Materials – Cotton and linen are undoubtedly the best materials to choose. Avoid synthetic, plastic, or chemically treated materials as much as possible.
it Colors – Opt for the most delicate colors possible, such as white, cream, light blue and other pastel shades, that match the chosen theme, but are also pleasant for the baby.
