These pix are in reverse order(sort of). So starting at the bottom is her godmother holding her in her normal clothes before all the excitement started. The next is Serena holding her after a feed. The next shows Father Mark anointing her with holy oil. Next shows the lovely candles held by the other people who were baptized that day. Next is the actual baptism--one of the three immersions with the words, "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." I've never seen an infant baptism with immersion!! Above that in two pix you see Elena in her new clothes, the baptismal gown representing her new life in Christ. (All the others who were not infants had the clothes they were baptized in buried, representing death to the old self.) On the top is a pic with all the people together.
