From the time they are appointed
Customarily it would be the godparents responsibility to provide the candle. However, in practice, the Church provides the candles.
The First Sunday of each June is "Godparents Day". In asking God's Church for Faith for the newly baptized, Godparents freely take on responsibility to help their godchild on the road of Christian Life; yet, the majority of Godparents fail to have any significant communication concerning spritual matters with their God children. "Godparents Day" is a wonderful way for a Parish to gently remind and encourage Godparents to communicate with their God children and for God Children to communicate with their Godparents concerning spiritual matters. http://www.parishprojects.com/godparents.asp
I don't think he had godparents.
You need godparents because if your parents die and you have nobody to look after you then your godparents can look after you.
You can only have Catholic godparents or Orthodox godparents. No protestants can be godparents in the Catholic Church.
You can't. Fairy GodParents don't exist.
before you have a communion you asksomeone close to you if they want to be your godparents. and there job is if there parents die the godparents will take care of him/her.
There is not usually any legal documentation of Godparents. This is a private agreement between parents and Godparents. Sometimes Godparents are listed in a Power of Attorney or a will.
Choosing Godparents today doesn't mean much of anything with the exception of the parents regarding the couple highly enough to even ask them. Being a true Godparent years ago meant that the Godparents were there to help in any way they could and if both parents were to pass on then the Godparents were to take the child(ren) in as their own. Now it has simply become a ritual. If the child was baptized as a Catholic,then its the responsibility of the parents and the godparents to ensure that the child is raised a Catholic. During the baptism the Parents and Godparent(s) would make a VOW on behalf of the child.So if the Parents don't fulfill their vows or changed their faith or died then it would be the God parent(s) duties to ensure that their Godchild's baptismal vows is fulfilled...(by teaching them of their christian duties as a Catholic and being an example of faith and prayer etc) It doesn't mean that by being a Godparent you have a legal responsibility for the child,but you do have a spiritual Responsibility....thats why its called God-Parent...Then when the child's older they'll renew their baptismal vows through Confirmation..
Godparents have their roots in early Christianity, with formal recognition in the Catholic Church dating back to the 3rd century. They were originally appointed to assist in the baptism of adult converts and later became integral to the baptism of infants. The role of godparents was formally established in the Church's canon law during the Middle Ages, emphasizing their responsibility to guide the spiritual upbringing of their godchildren. Today, godparents play a significant role in Catholic baptism rituals, symbolizing support in the child's faith journey.
No, there are no Godparents nor sponsors for First Holy Communion.
Poseidon did not have "godparents", his parents were Titan gods, Rhea and Cronus.
