“Baby shower. “Gift party to receive a Christian child”

Despite being an Anglicism, this festival is already rooted in our country. At first glance it seems like a simple foreign inheritance, which makes it sound somewhat unusual and superficial. The author takes advantage of this celebration to demonstrate that the arrival of a child is always a blessing from God, something that helps finalize the union of the couple and feel the closeness of loved ones.

Life is built of details, and in this celebration there are many symbolisms, which will remind the couple, waiting for the arrival of their baby, that God's love blesses their life project, and also shows how divine grace helps them. He fills with joy and surrounds everything with his love. Welcoming a Christian child is always a reason for celebration, the important thing is to celebrate life, because let us remember that God is a God of the living, not of the dead.
