Baptism as administered in the Orient
consists OF three dimensions in the name
of the Holy Trinity. Water having been
poured on the head, the whole body is
plunged into the water. When the great
est solemnity is observed, the ceremony
IS performed by the Bishop of the diocese
himself, accompanied by priests and choir
children clad in their sacred habits. as
many in number as the godfather may
desire. In the ordinary ceremony, which
is performed outside the door OF the sac
risty, it is the priest who first takes the
child from the midwife and gives it to
the godfather. After the profession OF
faith he turns toward the west to abjure
the devil pronounce the adorable names
of the Trinity. Finally. as they enter the
sacristv the. priest places the hem OF his
chasuble upon the infant carried by the
godfather, who follows the priest as the
latter advances to the baptistery. reciting
the psalm .Introibo.'' With us confirIna-
