Baby Naming Rose Petal Ceremony

Conducted a naming ceremony with two symbolic rituals - blending of sands and showering the baby with rose petals.

Symbolisms, used in a naming ceremony, add drama as well as emphasize some of the more meaningful facets of the ceremony.

In this case the blending of sands was used immediately after the parents' promises to the baby, and included the parents, the baby and the baby's sister.

The showering of petals was used after the promises made by the Life Guardians, and included Life Guardians, Grandparents, baby's sister and the baby's parents.


As the baby was showered with the rose petals, symbolically she was showered by the many gifts of life wished for her.
