Just How Dirty Were You?

After your Baptism we took you around to your godparents for a bath, you were starting to stink up the place! 😀 I’m joking of course, it’s another Romanian tradition we decided to follow, it’s called ‘Chrism bath’, or Baia de mir. We added the following to your bath:

  • Flowers
  • A silver coin
  • A gold ring
  • Milk and honey
  • Sanctified oil from the baptism ceremony

As you can imagine you were very slippery, Mihaela did a great job in keeping you above the water 🙂

I wish you to be beautiful like the flowers, to shine like the gold, to be kind like the milk, and to run money like honey runs

Daddy
