May God Grant Many Years to the Newly Illumined Christian
Philip Stephen Haralambos
who was baptized in Christ.
Xronia Polla!
“As many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. Alleluia.”
Here are pictures from the reception, I didn’t get any photos during the service.
. My friends Stephanie , Steve and their son the new little Christian, Philip.
My friend Vivian (Philip’s Godmother) and Stephanie passing out the baptism favors. They made up favors for the children with candies and gave the adults icon favors with the Jordan Almonds. The icon is of the Apostle Philip.

Thank you for stopping by. What a stunningly beautiful celebration! Congratulations to little Philip!
Adorable!
You all have the best receptions! We were so new at the whole thing we didn’t even know you were supposed to so we didn’t do anything after ours. I love the pictures of M~A kissing the icon!
Thank you Tracy. I love those icon pics too!!!:heartbeat: She is getting to be so much fun and funny!:sunny:
Many blessings to Philip. May God grant him many happy healthy years. I just must say that everytime I see a new pictures of Maria-Angelica she looks more beautiful. The picture of her kissing the icon is too sweet.
Oh, and the plate of kourembethes. My absolute favorite from a child. As a small child I would get the sugar on me and as an adult……..I still do. My Nouna still makes me some every Christmas.
Thank you Maria! :love: Kourambethes are my favorite too! Priests always joke about what a mess the powdered sugar makes on their black clothes!:lol:
You always take the most beautiful pictures! Your daughter is gorgeous!!!
