CHRISTENING IN THE VATICAN

February 23, 2012

After having Adrien's Christening, I just couldn't help but to remember the baptism of my other son André.  It was held in the best venue in the world to have a Christening: The Vatican.
We were so lucky that we were accepted!  We were living in Dubai at that time, where André was born, and we traveled to Italy for his magical Christening.  The ceremony was in English and Italian by a priest from Philippines in december 2007.  André was three months old and his sister Aimée was the godmother.
André had such a good luck that after the ceremony, the Pope Benedict looked out a window to give the blessing.

BIRD-CAGE CHRISTENING

January 29, 2012

This month we had something wonderful for our little family, the Christening of our baby Adrien. It was celebrated at the old St Georges church of Hermance, Geneva, by Father Anton. The father came from Zurich for the Christening and applied oil consecrated for the Pope to Adrien. A relative played the antique organ of the XVIII century during the ceremony.
We made a little reception at home with a French vintage bird-cage theme. Most of the decoration was made by myself. We had classic French songs and a saxophone interlude.
