Best Answer

A christening is usually a ceremony where a child is welcomed into the Christian church, where their name is given and Godparents and parents take on the responsibility of bringing the child up as a Christian, and renounce sin and Satan on the child's behalf. Water is poured on the child and blessings are laid on them. Afterwards the child is considered part of God's family, part of the church, although they will have to be confirmed (affirm that they believe in Christ) at a later stage.
