The baptism ritual for Jaden George Gaber takes place at the Church of the Virgin Mary. Priest Philopater Fawzi places him in holy water to expel the devil and make him the son of Christ. He then rubs holy oil, prepared by the Pope, on the infant’s body, as his mother and father read holy words. The parents start reading the holy words at the east of the church, where the sun rises, ending in the west, where the devil leaves the child’s body.
