Ohh aggressive people read my comment well We orthodox people believe when a child is baptized after 40 days is protected from evil and is close to the Lord

Absolutely great. But does he really have to dunk the baby so many times? 😂 Poor baby at the end he was giving him a mad look. Lol.

Well if this or cutting the forehead is making humans believe the kid will live well... I must find a way to flee this planet

Poor babies. I do not really think God needs this. Besides, this can be dangerous. Recently, a baby died in Romania after orthodox baptism due to water aspiration.

The baby who is traumatized, he does not know that this is the case in hus religion, he feels suffocated end terrribly afraid, you are aggressive, which is stvange when the mother laughs.

Is it biblical?....this is wrong, need not baptism for infants. That age group already kingdom of heaven granted by Jesus.
(Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

Orthodox christianity are still in the middle ages and that is why Georgia and other countries are poorest in Europe

[patriciagraham]

Cruelty beyond belief from so called 'grown-ups' Fearful for the babies, why would you do that ? Horrifying, ugly evil and totally wrong!

[norby]
