A priest from a Greek Orthodox Church was accused of hurting a baby during a baptism ceremony in Limassol, a city in Cyprus, last Saturday.
In the video that was recorded about the ceremony (see below), it is possible to see the priest trying to force the baby into the baptism bowl. The child’s legs hit the rim of the container a few times, and he started to cry.
According to the Greek Reporter website, the baby’s parents filed a formal complaint about the priest for the attitude.
“The priest hit my baby, we all shouted at him to be careful, but he replied, ‘I am responsible for the baptism,'” said Ntina Shitta, the child’s mother, in a post on her Facebook profile. “The baby turned red and was in shock! This priest ruined our most beautiful day,” he added.
On Sunday, the priest gave an interview to a local television network presenting his version of the fact. He apologized to the baby’s family, but denied any intentional wrongdoing.
“The truth is that the baby almost slipped out of my hands and, as you can see in the video, I put my arm to protect it. There was no intention on my part to hit or injure the baby.”
