Thalia's baptism

Today, Sunday 21 May 2006, Thalia was baptised into the Christian Orthodox Church. The Holy Resurrection Orthodox Christian Church of Singapore is housed in a shophouse in River Valley Road ...



and is presided over by Archimandrite Daniel ...

The priest pours some of the holy olive oil crosswise three times on the water in the font in order to render the consecration of the water complete ...




Thalia, held above the font, is just beginning to realize something's up ... and the Church reader cleans the floor after Thalia expresses her displeasure!



But it's too late for her to escape and she's quickly immersed three times in the font





After the service, we met for lunch at Ricciotti in Robertson Walk.
