One of the questions that parents may face: is it possible to baptize a child when the months go by. Most church ministers agree on the opinion that it is impossible.
Why not be allowed to baptize a child during a period?
A woman at this time is considered unclean for the performance of sacraments , she is not allowed to apply to the cross, put candles. Some say that you can not even go to church on such days. This explains why you can not baptize a child during a period.
Part of the clergy studied this issue in detail and came to the conclusion that this limitation stretches from the Old Testament. But in the New Testament, nothing is said about the fact that some limitations are imposed on a woman during her period, that she is considered unclean. On the contrary, the Bible has a story about how Jesus Christ allowed to touch a woman who had menstruation.
Thus, the clergy divided into three groups. The first believe that the arguments about uncleanness in case of bleeding are a historical misunderstanding and suggest that a woman with monthly can baptize a child. The second - argue that in any case you can not even enter the church. Still others - adhere to an intermediate opinion: they allow you to enter the temple and pray,
After the final answer to the question whether it is possible to baptize a child with a month's mantle, one must go to his spiritual mentor or to the priest who will perform the Sacrament. He will tell you his view of the situation. Then proceed as the priest orders. Perhaps you will be asked to postpone the date.
It is important to understand that the last day of menstruation is still monthly and it is better to clarify with the priest whether it is possible to baptize a child on that day.
