In the video above, actress Ali Wentworth details the events of her daughter's Orthodox baptism in a somewhat humorous way on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and guest Bill Maher. Historically Great Lent has always been a period of catechesis for catechumens approaching Holy Baptism. Without a proper education, an Orthodox baptism could indeed look like something out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, yet those a bit educated understand it is more like something out of It's A Wonderful Life.

Video: Ali Wentworth's Orthodox Baptism Nightmare
In the video above, actress Ali Wentworth details the events of her daughter's Orthodox baptism in a somewhat humorous way on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and guest Bill Maher. Historically Great Lent has always been a period of catechesis for catechumens approaching Holy Baptism. Without a proper education, an Orthodox baptism could indeed look like something out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, yet those a bit educated understand it is more like something out of It's A Wonderful Life.
For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.
Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.
This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.
If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.
Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.
Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
