“Baptism: This is the first of the sacraments and the one most necessary for salvation. Baptism is a great event!” - Pope John Paul II in his “Letter to Children” (1994)

Baptism is such a special time - the sacrament of rebirth or entry into the family of God and the precursor of all the other Sacraments. Although most of us cannot remember our baptism, we certainly have reminders- the baptism gifts that were given to us on our special day! Family and friends gathered to wish us well and brought unique gifts for to remind us that we are children of God. Choosing a gift which is meaningful and lasting is easy at Genesis 3:15 Creations.

We handcraft lovely keepsake baptismal gifts, which are ideal for infants, adolescents and adults, both male and female. Our lovely girl’s baptismal rosary is very feminine and delicate with 4mm pink Czech glass beads, a oxidized base metal crucifix and “Mary and Jesus” rosary center. The male counterpart is crafted with cobalt blue Czech glass beads.

An alternative for a Baptism Gift is a beautiful keepsake rosary bracelet. This lovely bracelet is created using small diameter memory wire with 4mm light rose Czech glass beads alternated with 4mm glass pearls. (See our home page for our model “Baby Natalie” adorned in this bracelet on her Baptismal day!) It is completed with a delicate silver-toned angel charm and a tiny rose crystal cross. This gift for Baptism will be cherished long after the young lady has outgrown her bracelet. It can be saved for another special sacramental day – her wedding day! Have the florist attach it into the bouquet! These gifts for baptism can become a treasured heirloom that is handed down throughout generations! (Note: Larger sized bracelets are available for those who are being baptized as older children and adults.

We also offer a personalized ankle bracelet. This sweet item can be personalized with the baby’s name (up to nine alphabet characters) and either the Baptismal or Birth date (up to 6 numeric characters). It is created on two stranded flexible wire with 4mm Swarovski light pink crystal and pearl in an alternating pattern. The bracelet features a rose crystal cross and tiny angel charm on either side of the personalized text. It is finished off with a magnetic clasp.

As Christian parents we are fully aware of the physical, emotional and educational needs of our children. But, in a sense, their spiritual needs are even more important and often overlooked by well meaning parents. A wonderful tradition to start is to say the rosary each night as we put our infants to sleep.In addition to asking God to keep our children safe and healthy, consider praying that the life of the Spirit instituted at Baptism will be kept brightly burning.

Note: Blessed items may not be sold. Therefore, customers may wish to ask a priest to bless the rosaries before being given as a gift.
