Children’s Gift items for Hallowed Moments
Presents for Children’s Christening, Communion and Baptism
The kind of gift we give for baby christening, communion and baptism should be somewhat different from those for more mundane occasions. By all means present the child with toys or trinkets or clothes as these will intensify the happiness of the event. However, gifts that inspire the children to become better persons should not be overlooked as these can effectively remind him of good intentions in his adult life.
Baby christening, communion and baptism gifts designed with holy symbols
You won’t have to get symbols which are openly preachy either. There a myriad of plain designs which are powerful mystical symbols without appearing to be so. It might be all right to embroider a baby’s clothes with angels, but older children may not appreciate that. In which case, turn to those signs that people do not normally associate with religious meaning.
The shell symbol for baby christening, communion and baptism
In ancient times, baptism was performed by using a scallop shell to scoop the water from the river and pour it over the head of the person to be baptized. As a sign of cleansing the scallop is particularly appropriate for baby christening, communion and baptism. The scallop should be turned face up with its wide and arched border facing the child. Or it may be placed on left hand side of the child’s breast where it will perpetually bathe his heart with purifying grace.
The fish symbol for baby christening, communion and baptism
The silhouette of the fish is normally represented as two curved lines whose concave sides complement each other. The head of the fish is where the lines join on one end and the tail is the other end where the lines cross. The most popular interpretation of this symbol is the food from God or the Holy Eucharis, but it has a deeper mystical significance.
Upon examining the figure we see that it resembles an opened eye. The fish therefore also represents and evokes the constant vigilance of heaven over the child.
The rock of faith for baby christening, communion and baptism gifts
This symbol represents faith. It was the sign under whose power St. Patrick evangelized Ireland. As such, it also stands for the power of the Holy Trinity. Embroidering the child’s clothes for baby christening, communion and baptism with a shamrock blesses him with faith in the Divine.
The seven colors of the rainbow
The mystical number 7 is embodied in the 7 rays of the rainbow. This number is found in many of life’s manifestations. These include the 7 days in a week, the divine days it took God to complete His creation, the seven notes of the scale, the seven sacraments and many others.
When you embroider your gift with a rainbow, you are actually imparting your blessing that the child should be a well-rounded and complete individual..
The rooster as a symbol of light
This is the symbol for the coming of light, the event which drives away the forces of the dark. In ancient times, the rooster was considered a powerful charm for warding off evil and giving clarity of mind. The two were intimately associated with each other. More precisely, an individual’s power to thwart evil influences depended on the clarity of his mind.
You bless the child with intuition and insight by choosing him gifts that are designed with the figure of the rooster.
