A few weeks ago, baby Sam was baptised at Christ Church. Baby Sam is one of our own babies. That is, Sam is not from a family who have asked for baptism and we might never see again. Sam’s mum is on the Vestry and sings in the choir with her mum and her nan. Four generations of the one family and the most glamourous nan you’ll ever see anywhere!
I don’t usually allow photographs during the service but I gave in for this one. And I’m glad I did. For if I hadn’t we wouldn’t have seen this beautiful photograph of baby Sam and the candle.
What a gorgeous baby, and what an expression!
Makes you wish you could see what he is seeing>
I know! It is a little sacrament.
That is an amazing photo – and how lovely, to have 4 generations. That’s so rare these days. I know what you mean about taking photos during the service – we didn’t allow it either – but some of the ones that were taken are quite special.
We’re never too old to learn, eh?
