The baptism of little Alexios in the holy church of Panagia Korfiotissa (or Korfiotissa) in Xylokastro was a truly special day, bathed in the light and tranquility of the Corinthian Gulf. The church, perched in a privileged position with a breathtaking view, provided the ideal, solemn setting for the new convert’s entrance into the embrace of Orthodoxy. The bright sun made the sea sparkle, reflecting the joy and anticipation that was pervasive in the atmosphere as the guests gathered.

Inside the temple, the ceremony flowed with reverence and deep emotion. The moment when Alexios was immersed in the consecrated font, received the anointing and donned the white robes, a symbol of purity and new beginnings, was the climax of the sacrament. The faces of his parents shone with pride and tenderness, while his godparents, with a sense of responsibility and love, accompanied him in this important step.
