Water Baptisms can take various approaches - some churches sprinkle, some immerse, but I can guarantee you've never seen anything like this one from Canada! :shock:

That’s a typical Orthodox baptism. The narrator identified it as Greek Orthodox. In all fairness (*sarcasm ON*) the priest may have been snorting cocaine just before the ceremony. Or maybe he drank a whole pot of coffee ☕️ and snorted cocaine (*sarcasm OFF*). Typical Orthodox baptisms are not so violent.

I would suggest to this priest that he calm down with a bottle of ouzo before his next baptism.

Well, Flie, I've seen sprinkling, dunking - and now, near DROWNING. That kid must have been howling as he hears the Latin, "In the name of the Father," glub, "the Son," blub, "and the Holy Ghost," glub-blub. :lol:

Since you live in the USA 🇺🇸, do you think Baptism by water pistol could be something guaranteed by the Second Amendment ?
