Baptisms bring great happiness to the Greek family. Family and friends celebrate the "rebirth" of the young child and the birth of the new relationship with the godparent. It is the responsibility of the "nouna & nouno" to purchase the child's new clothing, the cross, special oil and a baptismal set which includes everything necessary for the sacrament of chrismation.
