The Ceremony 

The baptism ceremony was a lot of fun. The poor godparents worked their tails off while the parents snooze in the corner. The best part of the process was when the priest snipped off a strand of Klara’s hair and burned it on a candle. The candle is to be used at her wedding. “Twenty years from now,” the priest said. Given how old N and I are, we didn’t say no to this plan.

The church is somber and there are no seats. Which is just as well because sitting makes spiritual betterment hard.
