Text: As many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have put on Christ. Alleluia. (in English and Slavonic)
Pyotr
has just been baptised and chrismated
with the Holy Chrism (oil) and put on the cross and symbolic garments of
Christ. The procession is led with the priest in the role of Christ, with
the newly-baptised Pyotr
carried by his godmother Anna and accompanied by his mother Galina.
