my nephew’s christening我侄子的洗礼
CultureThe priest baptizes the child by putting water from the font(= a special bowl) on the child's head and gives it a name. Promises are made by its godparents to set a good example to the child through its life. The godparents also make certain promises for the child. A christening is a special occasion for a family, although fewer people have one now than in the past. The baby wears a special dress, or christening robe, and receives christening presents, which are often things made of silver.
