Cecilia Kristin was baptised in Sta. Sunniva on Saturday April 2nd, 2005. The celebrating priest was our pastor, p. Pablo T. Dagangon. Julie was flown in from London for the occasion, as she had accepted the responsibility/honour (depending on how you look at it) of being Cecilia's godmother, and was a very exciting guest for Mikael Johannes and Saga Elisabeth, whose knowledge of English is limited to "Hello" and "Bye-bye".

A picture taken after the baptism. I have already described who you see, but it would be nice if you could see it for yourself.

From left to right in the picture: The Priest, Stine holding Cecilia, Sven, Julie holding Saga, and Mikael Johannes standing in front of Father, holding a present.

The christening gown Cecilia wore for her baptism, is a family heirloom, sewn by my great grandmother in 1901. You can read more about it if you follow this link. While Saga borrowed a bonnet, we sewed a new one for Cecilia

In case you haven't seen it, there is a video clip from the baptism. It is appr 55 sec long, 1.5 MB large, and in streaming media (RealPlayer). The sound isn't very good, but you might know what Father says anyway...
