Baptism in Mexico To begin with, in Mexico like in other countries for catholic people is really important the “baptism”. Therefore, it has a unique religious aspect in the society, because it purifies the soul of kids. The first step is reserve a mass in the parish. The ceremony usually it’s in groups, you also have to pay about 200 pesos in order to reserve it. Secondly, godparents need to attend to the pre-Baptism meeting, it is generally to prepare them for this hard responsibility. The event is very interesting and informative so, they can resolve all the questions about the religion or maybe about the ceremony. In addition, there’s the ceremony part. It’s often celebrate on Saturdays; the mass lasts about 1 hour and half and it’s really touching, it has three important parts: 1-Reception: is when children receive their names for first time in the religious community. 2-Liturgy of the word: it’s about to apply oil in the front to every child in order to protect them of bad things. 3- Celebration of the sacrament: it’s the most important moment, the baptism water is blessed and children finish with that process. Last but not least, when the ceremony finish the Godparent winnow “el bolo” to all the kids present there. Then parents and godparents offer a party, it could be a family party or something bigger with more acquaintances.
