Baptism in Thessaloniki
31 January, 2013
We arrived early at the American Farm School. Anthony and Stavroula were already in the chapel of St. John and the joy for the big day was evident on their faces.
We prepared our gear and started the first shots of the courtyard as the warm sun illuminates everything around us.
The priest invited us to go inside the church to begin the ceremony. Silent and with reverence, all the guests stood alongside parents and lived with them the sanctity of the sacrament.
We were impressed by the tranquility of the small child throughout the Baptism. With our lens looking for every expression of his face, waiting for those little baby faces that characterize the beauty and innocence with every shot.
And his name: Philipos! Resounding name, famous name!
