But after all, every parents have their own criteria: for example, "nasty" whether this temple is "nasty" or whether the child can do here not on the day of general baptism, but individually.

If you are the people of churches, systematically and not the first year go to the service, the question is removed by itself: Of course, you should talk with a familiar father and decide on all the moments that have worried you. Another thing if the parents of the baby are inexperienced: either believers, rarely visiting the temple, or simply seeking to observe the family tradition of the baptism of children.

Where to baptize the child

First of all, you need to decide which the church in which you would like to paint your firstborn. Now not only in Moscow and the Moscow region - dozens and hundreds of old temples have been restored throughout Russia, new ones are built or built. Therefore, everyone has the opportunity to choose.
Someone chooses that the church, which is closer to the house, so as not to fulfill the baby before the baptism of the long expensive. And for someone important is the marvelousness of the place or the beauty of the temple. Another thing is important to know how long the rite goes here and can it be possible to choose for him that day that suits you, do not stand in the general queue, etc. All these questions need to be found in advance, talking to the abbot of the temple or his jeellow. You can ask them by phone by calling the temple.

Do not forget to find out the question of the rigor of the approach in the elected temple to the rite of baptism: whether the godfather is needed and confessing with communion in front of him, whether there is a baby with a full immersion in holy water, and not just uroat the head, is there a special room for baptism in church Or the rite passes directly in the temple and, of course, can you baptize your baby individually, if you want this exactly. Consider the personal impression that the father himself made on you during the conversation.

Individual baptism

It is necessary to know that individual baptism lasts at least 30-40 minutes, in general, and in this case adults can be among the bachers - it can take place within one and a half hours, especially if this day is recorded on the rite the maximum permissible number of people - fourteen.

If you do not have the opportunity to overpay for individual baptism, but also stand in the queue - it is also undesirable, try to choose not one of the central temples, but a small church or a chapel on the outskirts, where the bachers are always less. In almost the home atmosphere of such a church or chapel for the baby, baptism will be much easier.

Photo and video filming of baptism

Now many parents are invited on this day among the guests of the photographer to capture the very first and very important church rite of their baby. Sometimes the shooting is assumed on the camcorder. But in a pre-conversation with the father, you need to clarify in advance, the shooting is allowed in the chosen temple and whether it is necessary to pay extra for it. In most churches in Moscow and in the Moscow region, it is permitted and additional fees are not charged.

Baptism is a basic foundation. Christian life begins with him.

10. Do I need a communion after baptism?
After baptism, it is necessary to come to an adult person, and the parents of the baptized child for the first time bring him to the past of communion. And after that, try to communion regularly.

How to baptize a child? What are the rules of the rite of baptism? How much does it cost? These and other questions will be answered by the editorial board of the Portal "Orthodoxy and the World".

Baptism of the child

When to baptize - different families decide this question in different ways.

Most often, sacrifice on +/- 40th day after childbirth. The 40th day - and from a religious point of view it is significant (in the Old Testament Church on the 40th day of the child, they were brought to the temple, a prayer was read on the born of a woman). 40 days after childbirth, a woman does not participate in the sacraments of the church: it is connected with the physiology of the postpartum period, and in general, quite reasonable - at this time, all the attention and strength of the woman should be focused on the child and their health.

After the expiration of this period above it, it is necessary to read a special prayer that the priest will make it before or after baptism. Little children behave much calmerly on baptism and are not frightened when someone else is on their hands (godfather or priest). Well, you should not forget that up to three months, children are easier to carry dipping with their heads, because they preserve intrauterine reflexes that help detain their breath.

In any case, the choice of moment remains behind the parents and depends on the circumstances and the state of the child's health. If the baby in resuscitation and there are health problems, you can baptize the baby in resuscitation. To do this, you can invite a priest or mom can baptize the child herself.

You can baptize and after 40 days.

If the child's life is in danger

If the baby is in intensive care, then you can invite a priest to dub child. From the hospital church or from any temple - no one will refuse. Only you must first find out what kind of baptism's orders in this hospital.

If there is no permission to be intensive care, or if the situation is different - an accident, for example, a mother or father (and a resuscitation sister at the request of the parents and in general anyone) a child can paint themselves. You need a few drops of water. With these drops, you need to cross the child three times with the words:

The slave (a) of God (s) (name)
In the name of the Father. Amen. (for the first time the baptizer and splashing the driver)
And son. Amen. (second time)
And the saint spirit. Amen. (third time).

Child is baptized. When it is discharged, in the temple it will be necessary to make the second part of the baptism - the world-building - joining the church. To explain in advance the father that they baptized themselves in resuscitation. It is possible to take the baby at home, having agreed on this with the priest in the temple.

Capture whether in winter

Of course, in the temples heat, in the font water warm.

The only thing - if in the temple one door and the temple itself is small, someone from relatives can be pressed at the entrance, so that all if the door does not open up at all.

How much to pay? And why pay?

Officially in the temples there is no fee for the sacraments and demands.

Another Christ said: "Darus accepted, let's give for nothing" (MF, 10: 8). But only here the apostles believers were killed, they were allowed for the night, and in modern realities a donation for baptism is one of the main types of income temples, from which they pay for light, electricity, repair, fire-fighting work and a priest who has many more children. In the temple is the estimated amount of donation. If really there is no money, you must write for free. If they refuse - the reason to turn to the adolescent.

Is it necessary to call on the sacraticles

Who wants like. Someone calls on the sacnesses, someone in honor of his beloved saint or someone else. Of course, if the girl was born, January 25, then the name of Tatiana is very asking for her, but the name of the parents of the child choose themselves - there are no "necessary" here.

Where to baptize?

It is unlikely that this question will stand in front of you if you are already the parishioners of some temple. If not - choose the temple in the shower. There is nothing wrong with looking into several temples. If the employees are inconvenient and rude (it happens, yes), you can search the temple where you will be understood benevolently from the very beginning. Yes. In the temple, we come to God, but there is no sin to choose the church of the temper. Well, if the temple has a separate christening. In it, as a rule, heat, there are no drafts and there are no strangers.
If in your city there are few temples and all of them with big arrival, then definitely learn in advance how many children are usually on baptism. It may be so that at the same time will be baptized with a dozen babies, each of which will be accompanied by a whole brigade of relatives. If you do not like this mass, you can agree on individual baptism.

Photographing for baptism

If you decide to hire a photographer on the christening, be sure to find out in advance whether it will be allowed to remove it, use an outbreak. Some people are very negative about the shooting of the sacraments and you can wait for an unpleasant surprise.
As a rule, anywhere photos and video shooting are not prohibited. Photos from baptism - a big joy for many years for the whole family, so if you can not remove the temple in the temple, then you need to search the temple where you can shoot (but even in old-owned churches allowed to shoot in christening)
In some cases, the child can be baptized at home. The main thing to agree on this with the father.

Cross

Who can and can not be a godfather is the most frequent question. Is it possible to pregnant / unmarried / unbeliever / childless baptize a girl, etc. - The number of variations is infinite.

The answer is simple: the godfather must be a man

- Orthodox and church (he is responsible for raising the child in faith);

- not the parent of the child (the godfall should be replaced by parents);

- It is impossible to be a husband and wife of the godfather of one kid (or those who are going to get married);

- The godfather cannot be monastic.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not at all necessary that the godfather was two. Enough and one: women - for girls and men - for boys. .

Conversation before baptism

Now it is necessary. For what? To baptize those who believe in Christ, and not those who come to "a child_bole_to_breet_t_a_to_tela_A_A_A_WERS_RUV_I_I_A_A_WERS.

You need to come to the conversation, this is not an exam. Usually the priest tells about Christ, the Gospel, reminds that the Gospel must be read independently looks like this.

Often, the need for conversation causes indignation from relatives and many are trying to "get around". Someone, complaining about the lack of time, and even just desire, looking for priests who can neglect this rule. But first of all, this information is needed by the human himself, because bypassing them to become a godfather of their child you impose a big responsibility on them and it would be nice to know about it. If the godfather do not want to spend at this time, then this is a reason for you to think, and whether the child needs perceptions who cannot sacrifice the whole pair of their evenings.

If the goddes live in another city and can come only on the day of the sacrament, then the conversations they can go through any temple in which it is convenient. At the end, they will be given a certificate with which they will be able to participate in the sacrament anywhere.

Very well, the godfather, if they still do not know, learn - this prayer is read three times during baptism and, it is likely that the godfather will ask her to read.

What to buy?

For baptism, the child needs a new baptismal shirt, a cross and a towel. All this can be bought in any church shop and, as a rule, is the task of the godfather. The baptismal shirt is then stored along with other memorable things. In foreign stores there is a whole line of amazingly beautiful clothes for baptism, you can use some beautiful set on an extract.

Name with baptism

Find out in advance what the name will be baptized. If the child's name is not in the saints, pick up a close in advance (Alina - Elena, Jeanne - Anna, Alice - Alexander) and tell the priest about it. And sometimes the names are given strange. One familiar Jeann was baptized by Evgenia. By the way, sometimes there are unexpected names in the saints, say. Edward - there is such an Orthodox British Saint (although then all the employees of the temple will not believe that there is orthodox name). In church notes and when performing other sacraments, it will be necessary to use the name given during baptism. Based on it, it will be determined when a child has an angel's day and who he has a heavenly patron.

We arrived in the temple, what's next?

In the church shop you will be asked to pay a donation for baptism. Before the sacrament, the baby is better to feed, so that he was more comfortable and calmer.

To feed in the temple It is good for this to be in a firing clothes or have apron with you. If you need privacy - you can ask someone from the Temple's employees to find a secluded place.
The only thing is if the kid feeds for a long time, it is better to have a bottle-syringe bottle with me, so that it doesn't work out that the baby was hung in the middle of the service and it is necessary or waiting for half an hour while he will take or he will cry from hunger.

During the sacrament of the child, they keep the goddes on the hands, parents can only observe. The duration of baptism is usually about an hour.

It is useful in advance to familiarize yourself with what will happen in the service to understand the meaning of what is happening. Here.

But Moms on baptism are not allowed everywhere - it is better then to clarify this question in advance.

Cold water?

In the font water warm. First, there usually pours hot waterThe sacrament is diluted with cold. But the water in the car was warm :)

The fact that the water is warm will take care of the employees of the temple, who are gaining it - they do not want to do it, so that the child is frozen. After perching the child, it will not be immediately able to wear, and here again it is worth mentioning that it is very small to baptize well in some rooms and not in the temple itself, where it is cool even in the summer. In any case, do not worry, everything happens quickly and freeze the child will not have time.

Should a child wearing a cross constantly?

Often parents are concerned about the security of the child wearing a kaptist. Someone is afraid that the child may suffer from a rope or a ribbon, on which the cross hangs. Many are worried that the kiss child can lose or can steal it, for example, in the garden. As a rule, the cross is worn on a short-lived ribbon, which cannot be confused anywhere. And for kindergarten You can prepare a special inexpensive cross.

And they say that ....

Baptism, like a lot more in our life is surrounded by many stupid superstitions and prejudice. Senior relatives can add worries and excitement by stories about bad signs and prohibitions. Any dubious questions better clarify with the priest, not trusting, even if it is very experienced, grandmothers.

Is it possible to celebrate baptism?

It is quite logical that relatives who will gather on baptism will want to continue the holiday at home or in a restaurant. The main thing is that during the holiday did not forget the reason because everyone gathered.

After baptism

When the sacrament is over, you will give you a testimony about baptism, where it will be indicated when the baptism is committed, who will also be written the day when a child has a birthday. After baptism, you will definitely need to go to the temple again to grab the baby. In general, kids must be adjusted regularly.

Some parents wish to make the baptism of the child at home and invite the priest for this. It seems to them that it is so more convenient, safer to the health of the child and other people's eyes will not see him. But there are several reasons why baptize the child is better in the temple:

1. Baptism itself implies the attachment of the baby to the Church of Christ, so it is in the church that is a dedication and occurs.

2. After the baptism is made, the Child is conceived: the boy rushes along the altar, the girl is only transmitted to the mother from the salty, so you will need to come to the temple anyway.

3. After baptism, if it occurs in the morning, often the gentleman's communion, the sacrament, no less important than the first one.

4. The baptism of the child since ancient times occurs in the church, because in no other place there will be so solemn and majestic setting for the adoption of this sacrament.

5. Many parents complain that the baptism of the baby is performed "not quite on the rite", that is, not through immersion in the water, but simply by pouring. It affects the desire to make baptism on full rank, and at home it is impossible. Meanwhile, there are special baptismal temples or baptisteria in temples, where you can make baptism even adults through immersion.

6. If you are afraid of strangers, although the sacrament of baptism is distinguished by all the dark forces, it is worth just ordering individual baptism, then only your relatives and friends will be present on it.

Baptism at home, as a rule, is committed by a priest in cases where a child or adult is sick, or when it is not possible to get to the temple in the countryside with a small child. Today, many have personal transport or have someone to ask, so such a problem occurs quite rarely.

Where to baptize the child.

The main tasks of the parents in preparing for the baptism of the child are to see the names of the sacnesses and choose a name for their baby, pick up the date of baptism, choose and invite to the baptism of godfare parents, explore the rules of the child's baptism. The godpanitis should buy a cross, learn a prayer symbol of faith, think that they give to the babies of the baby, but the main thing is to study how the child's baptism passes and what you need to know for the baptism of the child. Where to baptize the child, parents can solve, and can advise the godfather. Some want to baptize the baby in a big beautiful temple, for others it is important to be smaller people. Third, they definitely want to baptize the child with full immersion, while others want to be baptized with loved ones and relatives and allowed to shoot this event to the chamber. Therefore, about where it is better to baptize the child so that everyone is satisfied and the baby was happy, it is worth thinking in advance.

Today in Russia there is a huge number of temples, and there is no such temple in which baptism would not be accomplished. You can call any temple you like and find out what the rules for the preparation and commission of the sacrament exist:

1. In some temples, baptism is performed daily, in some - on Saturday or Sunday.

2. In most temples, it is customary to be recorded on baptism, but in some baptism is performed every day: you can approach the day convenient for you in advance, register and baptize the baby.

3. In most temples, critic parents are offered to pass an interview or several lectures before the baptism of the baby. At the interview, the godfather explains the main truths of the Orthodox faith, tell about the selection of the sacrament of baptism. It is useful because you can talk to the priest and ask him all the questions you are interested in, you can learn church life from the inside, get interesting and necessary knowledge. It is a pity if the godparents to the passage of these conversations are like a duty and try to avoid their visits.

If the godparents live in other cities and can only come to baptism, it is better to look for where you can baptize a child without interview. Then the priest holds a small conversation with the godfather directly in front of the sacrament and gives an explanation during his commit.

Where to baptize the child in Moscow &

Choosing where to baptize the child in Moscow, you need to think about how much a person wants to attend the sacrament, is there an opportunity to attend lectures to the baptism of the baby, do you want to baptize the baby with full immersion, whether you want to paint it individually, finally, how much donation is needed count. All this can be found out by calling the temples you like or visiting them. Let us list several temples, which are well opposed to baptism:
