Epiphany is a great Christian holiday dedicated to the baptism of Jesus Christ.
He did this already at a conscious age, in accordance with the traditions of that time. More than two thousand years ago it was allowed be baptized only on their own initiative, if a person has a desire to repent and purify himself.
Now there are no age restrictions, and an increasing number of parents are inclined to baptize immediately after birth.
What do clerics say about baptism on January 19?
The Church believes that you can be baptized on any day, without regard to date, day of the week or holiday.
The only thing that can prevent the baptism of the child on January 19 is, perhaps, the employment of the clergy due to the presence of divine services.
Therefore, in many churches on January 19, the sacrament of baptism is not performed!
You should not endow this day with additional meanings, the priests assure. Since there is a lot of fuss in the churches on the day of the Baptism of the Lord, it makes sense to postpone the baptism of the child to another, more peaceful day.Recall
