Bulgarian Infant Baptism Observed In Dramatic Ceremony
Mias Hmma Stewart teaching in the American College at Gofls Bulgaria writes of twin babies under 20 days old being baptized by a priest. Grandmother and godfather perform the rites amid chanting and incense while the head is shaved and a hair lock is placed in warm water. A later 40 day service follows for the mother’s return to the outside world. The piece notes a rustic belief that if a baby dies under a shared godfather, the family may replace the godfather by prompting a passerby to speak to the child.
