BAPTISM
WHEN CHILDREN ARE BAPTIZED IN THE GREEK CHURCH,
THEY ARE SUBMERGED IN THE BAPTISMAL FONT THREE TIMES.
Submitter comment:
THIS ACTION REPRESENTS THE HOLY TRINITY: FATHER,
SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT. THE BABY, A YEAR OLD MAXIMUM,
IS NOW CONSIDERED PART OF THE GREEK CHURCH.
THIS IS A GREEK-AMERICAN CUSTOM.
