Good morning Father, I would like to know if it's possible to have a blessing in our church for a 1 year child rather to the whole baptising process. The father is Greek Orthodox and the mother is from Italy. Many thanks
Answer to Question 208
What exactly is a blessing?
Same member Perhaps a special prayer, and the crossing of the child's forehead with oil and bless the cross the God parents will give on the day
Answer The Orthodox church doesn't do "blessings" its either all or nothing
