Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, His Holiness and Beatitude, Ilia II will baptize 100 babies on Easter Tuesday, April 29.

Several hundred families expressed the wish that the Patriarch become the Godfather of their children. As a result of an increase in the birth rate, a greater number of children will be baptized, which will take place in intervals.

During the first baptizing the Patriarch became the godfather of over 500 children.
