Clayton Emmer posts about the anniversary of his baptism as an infant. It’s a lovely post, including scanned 70s graphics and remembrances from relatives who were there. (H/T Amy Welborn.)
This is the first year I’ve decided to make a point of celebrating the anniversary of my baptism.
…I guess Pope John Paul II thought this sort of thing was a good idea, as did a fourth-century saint:
We should celebrate the day of our baptism as we do our birthday! All Christians should reflect on the meaning and importance of their own baptism. – John Paul II, 1/12/1997
This post inspired me to dig in the folder labeled "Records. Misc. Erin" deep in the filing cabinet until I found my Baptismal Certificate. Turns out my baptism day is February 16th (1975). I think I’ll mark it on the calendar.
