“Though not required by the Protestant prayer book, chrisom cloths were still standard equipment, at least in the Elizabethan period.”
“The chrisom was the linen cloth, or garment, which the priest put on the recently baptized child.”
“This white vesture was worn for a month after the child's birth, and if it died before the expiration of that time, it had the chrisom for its shroud.”
“Mary and John invited their family and friends to witness the christening of their newborn daughter, where she was baptized and given the Christian name Emma.”
“The christening of their new business venture brought anticipation and excitement to the team.”
