Ian's Baptism in Mineo

Gathering at Bar Eden Latino for prosecco~
Proud godfather with his godson

Dressed for Carnevale or to stay warm? Probably both. The others we saw dressed for Carnevale were horror movie characters...not even worth a digital pic.

Beginning of the Baptism ceremony in the Chiesa di San Pietro, Mineo
The newly baptized with our Navy priest and the local priest, his family and godparents
Our Catholic ladies group joined the celebration as Ian's mother is one of our members.
Beautiful statue of St. Lucia in the church
Jody and Jim with tile depicting Jesus giving St. Peter the keys to the Kingdom (church exterior) .


The rest of the glorious day was spent at the godparent's agriturismo, Azienda Agricola Infantino, dining the entire afternoon while looking back up to the town of Mineo.
 
Among the presents
The boy is a READER!!!!

Sweet finish for a memorable event and day
