On Tuesday evening, the third day after the baptism, the godparents--as is the tradition here in Greece--gathered at our house to give the babies a bath. The practical purpose of this tradition is to rinse off the holy oil and then to dispose of the water in a suitable manner. And, of course, spiritually, it is a time for the godparent and godchild to bond. Above, you can see everyone gathered in the kitchen.
