Family and relatives watch a 4 year-old's baptism ceremony in a local Catholic church. Reaching down to the young lad, the priest touches him on the cheek as part of this ancient rite when a Christian is welcomed into the church. The word baptism is a sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also called christening but for others the word "christening" is reserved for the baptism of infants.
