Watch: 500 babies baptised in Georgian mass ceremony

More than 500 babies have been baptised in a mass ceremony in Georgia at Tbilisi's Holy Trinity Cathedral. The infants were also given the honour of becoming godchildren of the country's Patriarch Ilia II.

The spiritual leader of the Georgian Orthodox Church has taken on this role for thousands of babies since 2007, in an effort to boost birth rates.

"In Georgia, there was a big problem regarding the childbirth rate and in 2007 the Patriarch made the decision to become the godfather of every third and following child," explains priest Shalva Kekelia.

I was baptized having lukewarm holy water poured on my head, with the priest keeping it out of my eyes while my godmother held my head afloat, everything from the neck down submerged. This is just brutal
