Set of Three Candles

One large lambada is to be carried by the Godparent and two smaller ones are to be carried by young children that will be going around the font. You can have more than two smaller candles if more children or even grandparents would like to participate. These candles may be decorated in various ways making them unique to the interests of the Godparent or theme of the baptism.

Set of Ladopana

The items that will be absorbing the blessed oil that will be rubbed on the baby during the sacrament. Included are two hand towels, one bath towel, one sheet, and undergarments. It is important that all of these items are white as they signify the entirely new, free-from-sin life that the child begins with Christ and the purity of their soul.

The Bath Towel and Sheet

After the baby is dunked in the baptism font, the Godparents will be ready holding the towel and sheet to receive the baby. These items will absorb the excess, blessed oil rubbed on the baby.

The Undergarments

These are the first clothes that the baby will wear and they need to be white. For ease of dressing the child, a onesie is a logical choice. For older children, an undershirt with undies can be used. These items are also meant to absorb the blessed oil rubbed on the baby. They also provide a small protective bearer between the oiled skin of the baby and the baptism outfit. A liner cap for the baby’s head to absorb the blessed oil and protect the clothing of anyone holding the baby may also be used.

Oil Bottle, a Bar of Soap, and a Set of Hand Towels

The Oil Bottle is needed to hold the oil that is rubbed on the baby during the baptism sacrament by the priest and Godparents. Because of its pure and natural state, 100% Virgin Olive Oil is recommended to be used in the baptism sacrament. (No vegetable or other oil). Eight ounces of olive oil is a sufficient amount for the sacrament. Fill the bottle with the oil at home and bring it to church in a sealed bag away from the other baptism items.The soap is used by the priest and Godparents to wash their hands once that part of the sacrament is done. Then the hand towels are used by them to dry their hand

Baptismal Cross with Chain

Traditionally, a gold cross is purchased by the Godparents. As the child grows in their faith, he will wear the cross as a commitment to God and protection against evil. The cross is put onto the child towards the end of the baptism. Although not necessary, the cross may be brought to the church in a keepsake box for the child to keep.

Baptismal Outfit

The baptismal outfit is usually formal and includes shoes and socks. These outfits are usually sold with the accompaniment of a bonnet, hat, or other head covering. Although white clothing is preferred, it is not necessary. Please consult with your priest before picking the outfit to ensure that it fits within the requirements of your church.
