When my mother was born, some 93 years ago, her Croatian parents lived in Leadville, Colorado. My grandmother made by hand a beautiful long baptismal dress. There were celebrations for three days, which my grandparents said were the custom in Dalmatia. There was much feasting and drinking of wine, etc. My grandfather named the children when they were born. However, with their first daughter, the midwife gave a name of her choosing. It infuriated my grandfather who changed it!! Bee
