Today our little Miriam was received into the kingdom of God by baptism. We had a private family service followed by a reception of catered German food - as requested by the baby’s parents. Baby photos on social media are verboten, but here are few of the flavor of the day.
This cross was made by the maternal grandfather of the baby, for the wedding of the baby’s parents. It was included in the baptism as a symbol of the continuing cycle of this family’s life.
Swiss Easter chocolates found their way to the tables and went home with people.
While yesterday morning looked like this
Today was warm and sunny, and all the day was perfect.
The officiating pastor was our family chaplain in Europe, when the baby’s father (our son) was a toddler. So various circles were closed today.
And tomorrow, D.v., I board a plane for home. But I don’t arrive until about the same time the next day.
Blessed Easter. It was lovely that the baptism message connected the rebirth of baptism with the resurrection.
Our Easter Baby.
It was so good to see you in person again after almost a year! Thank you for inviting me, Ruth, to your family event! I was honored to be a present.
