Christening v Naming Ceremonies

February 19, 2009  

Many parents want to officially welcome their children into the family fold. However, not all want to go down the traditional route of a Church Christening.

More and more people have decided instead to hold a Naming Ceremony. It is very similar to a baptism but does not have the religious element. Rather than welcoming the child into the church, parents choose to welcome them into their family and community.

In this interview listed below Rachel Fry from the website My Baby Celebration discusses the two traditions and has advice for parents planning such a celebration!
