Question

What is the youngest age a child can be christened?

Answer 1

As soon as possible.. Eventho there is no real age..

Answer 2

There's no age really.  In the old days, weak newborns and premies were often christened straight away so they would go to Jesus should the worse happen.  It's a religious thing.

Often we do it at around 6 months or one year of age as it makes the whole ceremony and after-party easier to deal with.  My great cousin was christened at nearly 2 year-old and he was so cute in his little suit and white tie.  He behaved really well too.

It's a matter of personal choice.

Answer 3

I know with catholics it can be any time after birth. The sooner the better.

Answer 4

as soon as you want them too right after there born

Answer 5

In a catholic church you can do it when they are newborns, as early as you want.  That's the most precious time to do it.
