The Highlighted Photo
My 'lil angel so cute I have drawn smiley on the lady at her back. Hihi.
From Cavite, we drove so early like 3:20AM and I was expecting JB will cry because I got her sleeping ass and she woke up but she just smile wide. We arrived like 5:20AM in Binondo. She didn't have much time to sleep I might see the strange reaction in her face with the new environment. She just played.
The seminar for Christening was scheduled by 8:30 AM yet it formally started around 9:30AM.
So before it will begin, photos will explode for the 'lil girl.

And of course with Godmother Cherry, my bff.
Then we proceed to the Seminar. Without attending it, no baptism.
We are one of the few that arrived so early exactly 8AM.
Picture taking in between the seminar. Lol.

After the most an hour of seminar, we attend the 11AM church service which is also a Baptismal mass.
Finally..
The happy JB.
The Christening - JB cried after the holy water poured in her head.
Baptism is a Christian ceremony when a baby is welcomed into the Church.
It has holy (blessed by the priest) water, from a font, poured on its
head three times - in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. It symbolises being "born again". Jesus was baptised by his
cousin, John the Baptist, in the River Jordan. Some churches baptise
babies (and adults) by total immersion in water.
Christening is the giving of a Christian name at the time of baptism.

I have read the above information HERE. Please read.
Then follows the Chrism, Greek word literally meaning "an annointing". To read more, HERE.
JB was about to cry when the priest told here, "Jewel Blake peace for us."
The behaved JB.
The fathers of children will then do the lightning of candle.
Fire, especially in the form of a candle flame, represents both the Holy
Spirit and light. The sources of these symbols derive from the Bible;
for example from the tongues of fire that symbolized the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost and from Jesus' description of his followers as the light of
the world; or God is a consuming fire found in Hebrews 12. Light, like
water, is essential for life and hence the candle. Read MORE.
