Baby Naming and Blessing Ceremonies
ceremonies. Together with the family, she helps in the creation of a ceremony that is
personal and meaningful for them. The baby blessing or naming ceremony has
several purposes: First of all to celebrate the arrival of the child in a meaningful way.
The ceremony allows the parent/s to introduce their child to its community of family
and friends and to be blessed by them all.
The blessing or naming ceremony will include whatever elements are right for you
Nothing is essential or prescribed for the blessing. Lydia will discuss the both the
practical and spiritual desires of the couple for the child’s blessing ceremony. It
should be noted that the service can be offered for children as well as babies. If your
child is older, he or she can even offer input to the creation of the service. The aim of
the service is to speak and honour your truth.
The service can include: music, dance, sharing from the congregation, prayers,
annointing with water and oil, candle ceremony -- or whatever you wish!
