Christenings of Children of King Constantine & Queen Anne Marie

[crm2317]

Lovely video, a very glamorous christening. Why did King Constantine's mother and sisters bring Pavlos to his christening and hold him during it? Is it tradition?

In the orthodox baptism the baby holding only the godmother or godfather! The mother taking the baby in the end. In the case of Pavlos Queen Frederica was his godmother.
