Children love attending baptisms. They see the family come to church in their nicest clothes, gather around the font, and watch the priest prepare the books, the towel, the oils and the water. They watch the baby anointed with the holy Myron, inch closer to see the baby immersed in the water, and then, best of all, they are handed a candle to join the procession around the church.
How much more precious would that day be if each child could see the heavens rejoicing with them during that procession?
The Day My Sister Got Baptised is a rhyming picture book by Mirette Abraham, illustrated by Maggie Saleeb, that walks young children through the Sacrament of Baptism and the joy of becoming a new creation in Christ.
Children growing up in the Orthodox faith are taught that the Sacraments matter, but they understand them fully only when their joy becomes a personal encounter with God. Through its engaging rhyming text, this book lets children walk in the shoes of the main character, meet Christ in the Sacrament of Baptism, and feel the same joy that heaven feels when someone is baptised.
Part of a series that explains the Sacraments to young children, it is ideal for:
Preparing an older sibling for a baby's baptism.
Sunday school lessons on the Sacraments.
A baptism gift for the family.
Mirette Abraham is a Christian author in Sydney, Australia, a youth leader and speaker, and host of MAMI, a podcast for the modern Orthodox mother. Maggie Saleeb is a freelance artist who helps run Mandorla Iconography Art Studio at St Cyril's Theological College, Sydney.
