Baptismal Rite Marked Sophia Hassapelis Christened
Sophia Hassapelis entered the Christian faith through a Greek Orthodox baptism conducted by Rev. Gus Pappas. Godparents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kotsionis presented the baptismal gown, with olive oil, three candied symbols, and the Trinity highlighted by three haired clippings. The ceremony included three dips in the font, incense, and the first communion of wine and bread as a blessing to the newborn.
