It depends on the sex of the baby. For boys it is the godmother that holds, and passes the baby to the vicar. If the baby is a little girl it is normaly the godfather that does the holding.
These aren't hard and fast rules, just tradition. In reality anyone who the parents want can hold on to the wee one!

The Minister/Vicar holds it when it's being Christened.
Obviously one of the parents holds it until they pass it to him to christen.

At our childs it was us, the parents, I think it depends on the church.
