I am going to a Greek Orthodox Christening and had the border personalized. On the border I had the child’s name was baptized on the date. Is using the word baptized correct instead of using the word christened. I want to put the correct word on this blanket. Please help.
 
Hi,

Baptism is the more correct name for the sacrament. This is the term the Orthodox use–as well as Catholics.
