What is an appropriate gift for a russian orthodox baptism?
I have a dear girl friend whose child is having a traditional russian orthodox baptism. Need ideas for gifts.
Don’t take Jame’s advice as we Orthodox Chritians don’t use roseries we have Chotki prayer ropes which are not rosaries. For starters they form a loop with out the beads hanging off-
my advice get an icon of the Child’s patron saint-if you don’t know who that is any icon would do. or an Orthodox Cross. You don’t need to specify Russian Orthodox since all of us "Eastern" Orthodox are the same- the differnces are language vestments and icon lettering.

edit I thought the vodka one was funny- having a few drinks after church to celibrate is not a bad idea.
