In many cultures, the christening of children is celebrated with a big reception. We had the pleasure of attending the christening of Simon, the son of one of our family friends. It was held at a small arabic church and later we celebrated at a reception venue that is located right next to their church and is used by the church community.
Wayne and I attend an english church so it was really interesting to go to an arabic sermon.
After Simon was baptised the reception started, when everyone was seated Simon did a big entrance (exactly like a wedding when the bride and groome enter). His God father was holding him up and everyone was standing around Simon clapping and dancing to celebrate.
As normal, there was entre, main and dessert. Simon had a big blue cake with his name on it.
His father is a videographer and did a fabulous video that we watched just before we were served the main meals. It was the cutest video of Simon, laughing about and hanging out with his parents.

Wayne was hungry by 9:30, so he thought an iPhone would do.
