 The
Baby Naming Ceremony is found in many traditional Cultures
throughout the world, inlcuding many, if not most, indigenous
peoples, as well as Jewish, Muslim, and Tibetan Bhuddist Rites.
It is an important opportunity present the new child to her
community and welcome her into the physical world, but also
to give community, family and relatives the chance to bless,
gift and annoint the new family in a sacred container...a
space of Holiness.
Though we can plan together to customize
specifics of your new baby's Blessing Way and Naming,
the main elements are as follows; Family and friends are gathered
and the circle is sanctified by traditonal means. A welcoming
prayer is made by the officiant and the Baby is presented
by name. Guests are asked to individually introduce themselves
to the new baby, and how they are related while annointing
the feet of the child. Guests should speak directly to the
child their blessings and prayers for her well-being. After
the Annointing, gentle Music Interlude and sweet food offering
can be passed out to guests as a thank you from the Parents
or Family. Then guests will present the gift that they brought
individually to the child, while addressing her directly why
they chose that gift for them. This is then followed by a
Closing Prayer and perhaps more music and merriment.
