Child Dedication - Rofel Senen Fariñas

IMG_9333

Sochi…a very unique nickname.

Sochi’s real name is Rofel Senen – Rofel is from Rommel & Ulyfel [these unique names must be genetic :)], culled from the names of his parents, and Senen is a second name of his grandfather and a biblical name meaning “Gift from God.” (thanks to the signature book where this info was taken from. Hehe).

…and his nickname? Well, Uly said it came a mobile phone ring tone which Sochi always listened to while in his mommy’s tummy :)

I found my first coverage of a Day of Dedication very meaningful. During the ceremony, each of the godparents said a prayer for Sochi and in one part, the pastor held the baby to give God’s blessing while everybody else stretched out their arms and prayed over him.

She probably does kiddie events coverage too. Do you accept apprentices? ;-)

It was a simple celebration to welcome Sochi into God's family. Thanks to Uly & Mel for the opportunity to cover this memorable event :)
