Hello List I'm doing up a scrapbook for my Goddaughter who has Irish and German ancestry. By Googling I've found more than enough "Irish Baptism Blessings" : this is one that I will use: "May God grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel.........friends near you....heaven to hear you .." Is there something, in a similar vein, I could use for a German blessing? Nothing too heavy. I can't find anything on the web. Also, I remember reading once, on the Web, how, in Germany, people were choosing a number of god parents who were high-ranking, not just the usual relatives. The reason: so that the child would benefit socially and materially. This practice was frowned upon and the number of god parents was thereafter limited. Can anyone lead me in the right direction for this, please? Di
