About this christening set

Greek families mark a baptism with something the child keeps for life. This set pairs a frame for the christening photograph with an icon of the Panagia for the nursery, so the day and its blessing stay together.

The icon of the Mother of God holding her Son is the image Greek households hang above a child's bed: the Virgin Mary is asked to watch over the newborn as she watched over her own.

It arrives boxed, which makes it a practical present to bring to the church or to send directly to the parents.
