Sarah147 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hello! A Sister on EWTN shared about celebrating your Baptism day birthday. I thought it sounded like a wonderful idea and I want to do something for it yearly, if I remember to! Please do the poll. When is your Baptism day and what's the feast or memorial that day? God bless you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was baptized on Easter as an infant and then was received into the Church/Confirmed on Easter! So, yes, I celebrate. My friends and I have a tradition of going out for pancakes after Easter Vigil to celebrate my anniversary as a Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 You know this is awful, but I can't tell you the day I was baptised as a Baptist. I can tell you the day and place I accepted Jesus, but not my baptism; my church made me wait until the end of the fiscal quarter so they could maximize the amount of people they baptised at once. As for Easter Vigil, I definitely celebrate after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was baptized on April 15th. Not much of a day to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Have you got a baptism record? Your Church ought to have it on file, I would think. They need it for getting confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Baptist churches don't tend to do baptismal certificates, so I had to get a letter from them saying the year I was baptised on church stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was baptized in a Lutheran Church, and they gave a really nice certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've celebrated it every year since i can remember. My birthday is Jan. 3rd, and my baptism day is Jan. 10, seven days later. That also happens to be the Baptism of Jesus. I celebrate my birthday every year by sleeping in the fetal position the night before. hhahahaha I celebrate my Baptism by sleeping prostrate on the ground in cruciform...(not really, but that sounds like a good idea!)

franciscanheart Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I do celebrate it. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I celebrate it twice I was baptized Easter of 2007, which was April 7th. So I celebrate on April 7th AND on Easter. It's a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Marx Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I wanted to do it when I was little. But, my family was never into it and when June 21 rolled around, there was no one there to remind me. Now I celebrate my Confirmation Day! Edited to add: I was Baptized as an infant. I don't remember it. I remember my Confirmation, though. ) Edited February 3, 2011 by Tally Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth09 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The day after I was baptism, because, then, was two years after my grandpa had died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm not sure when I was baptized, but I know I was about 9 months old by then (I was born very premature and spent a few months in the hospital). I do celebrate the day I reverted (and that I survived that confession!), though. April 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
