This is not Holy Water!

Mr Gomes explains to Antonio that the pond water is not that Holy.

The Baptism proper

Antonio enters the community of Christ by way of Holy Water.

Antonio's Baptism

Antonio Francisco goes to church.

Padre Jose Manuel Pereira de Almeida welcome's him.

Good old mum and dad take him.

Aunt Andreia and uncle Jojo guide him, as godparents.

All are dressed in Sunday clothing, even though it is Tuesday the 13th of June,

Saint Anthony's day, of course.

Snails are for eating!

Here is proof:

WE ARE ALIVE!!!
