17+ Baptism Invitation Designs & Templates in PSD
In the Christian tradition, once a baby is born, they will need to undergo a sacred ceremony in order to officially admit the baby to the Christian church, and this ceremony is called baptism—otherwise known as christening. Though the baby is already given a name by their parents upon conception, it is only during their baptism that their names are made official and are documented by the church. The document referred to here is called baptismal certificate, which is an official document issued only by the church.
Just like any other highlight in a person’s life, baptisms call for a celebration. And since baptisms occur only once in a person’s entire lifetime, it is best to make the celebration memorable, but not necessarily extravagant.

Significance of Baptism
1. Baptism is a command of the Lord, just like Jesus has been commanded by His Father to be baptized even if He did not have any sin, Jesus also commanded His disciples to be baptized as well. The same way, through His disciples who shared the Word of God to the world, we have also been commanded by our Lord to be baptized. You may also see christening photo invitations.
2. Baptism is the symbolism of our union with Christ. Though it has been said that it is, in fact, not through baptism that we are united with Him, but through our faith instead. By our faith, we are united with Christ, and our baptism symbolizes that union. You may also see christening invitation designs.
3. Baptism is the act of cleansing the child from the original sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve. Even if we were born pure and innocent, we have already been scarred by the sins of Adam and Eve after they have disobeyed God, and by baptism, we are cleansed of those sins.

4. Baptism is also the symbolism or the reenactment of Jesus’ dying and rising from the dead. After the crucifixion, Jesus was taken down from the cross, buried, and rose from the dead after three days. The act of immersing in water during baptism is symbolic of the burial and resurrection from the dead. In way, when we are baptized, we are actually burying our sinful selves in the water and are then resurrected with Christ. You may also see christening thank you cards.

Requirements for Baptism
1. Parents who want their child to be baptized will require at least two months of church attendance to where they intend to have their child baptized. These two months of church attendance will allow them to become registered members of that church, and church registration is one requirement for baptism. You may also see chevron invitation templates.
2. For children that are being baptized before they reach the age of seven, they will not be required to take catechism classes. However, the parents and godparents will take the classes instead, but this may still depend on their backgrounds. For parents and godparents who are practicing Catholics, the class will be very brief and will simply talk about baptismal responsibilities. But for those who are non-Catholics, their catechism classes may last a few months in order for them to become members of the Catholic church. This is also applicable for those who are being baptized over seven years old. You may also see free invitation templates.
3. Baptismal forms are required for the ceremony, and these forms can be obtained from the church office. These forms indicate the criteria for each of the sponsors, and this include the age of the sponsor, whether or not they are practicing Catholics, and have received the sacraments of baptism, Holy Eucharist, and confirmation.
