The word Christening comes from 'Christing', or receiving the child into the church. Both things are really the same. Tony |

Baptism and Christening are the same thing. Baptism is a word found in the Bible and basically means to wash but Christening is a word that came much later on. |

I think Baptisim is a Sacrament and a religous rite, I was Baptised as a Catholic, I think Christening is the giving of a christian name. But Baptisim is welcoming some one into a religon, and so i was told washing away the original sin. Julie |
