Giving a silver cup to a Baby's Christening?
2006-06-30 13:23:53 · update #1
What is the significance of giving a silver drinking cup at a Baby's Christening?

for most people there is no significance other than giving the child the gift of (wish for) wealth.
there is also a reference to the Chalice the meaning here is that the child will be encouraged to participate in religious rituals such as prayers
as a baby gift its a crossover tradition from the Jewish Kiddush cup
(re. crossover tradition i mean things like marriage
where the ceremony and traditions are now different for christian and Jewish peoples but the ideas behind it stays about the same)

The Bible doesn't teach us to christen babies.

I don't know, I can't find either one in the Bible.
