An interview before the christening is a mandatory requirement for godparents. The interview is conducted by the priest himself. He talks about what prayers you need to know, what to buy and bring, and how, in general, you should prepare for the Sacrament of Baptism.
Before baptism, the godparents fast for 3-4 days, refusing meat and dairy food, as well as sexual relations.
After the interview, a certificate of its passage is issued (if the godparents are from another city, they can pass in their church and, with this certificate, appear at the ceremony).

Baptism is a festive rite, but since it takes place in the temple of God, certain measures must be observed:

the woman should be dressed in a long, knee-length dress with closed shoulders. You must put a scarf on your head. Do not wear high-heeled shoes because the service can take more than 2 hours. Natural makeup.
the man should look appropriate, pants and a shirt (no shorts and T-shirts).

IMPORTANT: both the woman and the man must wear a pectoral cross

Boy's christening rules and signs

The baptismal ceremony for girls and boys is slightly different. The main difference is who receives the baby from the baptismal font. In the case of the girl, this is the godmother; in the case of the boy, it is the godfather. Also, the main requirement is the age of the recipients: for a man, the difference with the godson is 15 years, for a woman, 13 years. The godparents of the child must be Orthodox. Godparents should not be spouses or a couple who in the future plans to tie the knot with each other in order to prevent "spiritual incest"

Signs :

after the sacrament, the kryzhma or towel is not washed, so that there is a belief that it removes ailment from a child during an illness
from the evil eye before baptism, mom chews a clove of garlic and blows on the child
a noisy holiday after the ceremony is not arranged, only a close family circle
the baby should be dressed in everything new, because it symbolizes the beginning of his spiritual life

A christening cake should be church-themed and decorated with Orthodox symbols - a crucifix, Easter symbols, the name of the child and his / her supporters, etc. In addition to these symbols, the cake can be decorated with an angel figurine and corresponding inscriptions. For boys, it is made in blue.

What do godparents give for a boy's christening?

The main gifts from godparents are a kryzhma, a cross and a silver spoon. If, in addition to them, the godparents want to give something else, this choice is great. These gifts should be large and valuable in their dignity.

What do christening guests give?

A gift from guests can be different, the main thing is functional and practical. The baptism ceremony is a significant day in the life of a child and it is better to give a thing or a souvenir of the corresponding theme. For example:

I have long dreamed of being a godfather
And he took the child in his arms,

And he began to pray hard.

And let there be sweetness in my soul
From spiritual grace
And love, what does life mean

A lot of everything
Grace keeps him
God's Angel covers
And the saints help!

We will nurture so that the light does not fade.

The Divine Light that is today
Illuminated your infant face.

Congratulations on the boy's christening from the guests in verse and prose, in their own words

May God grant this little miracle to keep in itself all the brightest and unspoiled what is in it now. Let our sometimes cruel, sometimes unjust world protect the child from evil, envy, resentment, temptation. Let's drink to all the bright, clean and peaceful sky overhead!

My family, congratulations
With the light sacrament of christening.
With all our hearts we wish you
So that there is only one way ahead -
Filled with love with light
Good luck in the world with warmth,

To fill your house with joy,
Flowed to you like a clear river.
To make the star of love shine
Over all of you forever,
To love success and happiness
Never passed.

They say that when a person is born, an asterisk lights up in the sky, which does not shine brightly enough to see it. After all, it is not for nothing that they say how many people are on earth, there are so many stars. After the rite of baptism, his dull star flares up brighter and brighter! And on this day, parents can see their child's star. After all, the Lord sends to him his assistant, the Guardian Angel, so that he can protect and preserve the soul of the newborn forever. Let your baby's star shine so brightly on christening day so that not only you, but the whole world will see your baby's star! With baptism.

Prayer "Symbol of Faith" for the christening of the child

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages;
Light from Light, God, true from God, true, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, Who was all.
For us, for the sake of man and for our salvation, he descended from heaven and incarnated from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human.
Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried.
And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.
And he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
And packs of the coming with glory to judge the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-giving, Like the outgoing Father, Like the Father and the Son, we are worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets.
In one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I tea the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the century to come.
Amen.
