In Greek Orthodox can you baptise during the 40 days of lent?

I want to baptise my daughter in March 2010 but this is during lent for easter. Will the greek orthodox church still baptise her?

Baptisms may not be performed on the following days unless it is absolutely necessary and permission is obtained from the Archbishop:

1. December 25 – January 6
2. Holy Week
3. Major Feast Days

    Yes, but it would be improper to prepare baptismal party.

    Yep – the Church will still baptize her. Talk to your priest about it too.
