Approximately 700 young children along with their parents filled the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi on November 23 for the 72nd mass Baptism ceremony.
The Patriarch has been guiding the Georgian Church for more than 40 years and is the most trusted man in the entire nation. In an effort to improve Georgia's dire post-Soviet demographic situation, the Church began holding mass Baptisms in January 2008, with the beloved primate personally becoming Godfather to the third and subsequent children of spouses who were married in the Church.
With this latest service, the Patriarch has well over 50,000 Godchildren, reports the Orthodoxia News Agency.
The previous service was held in July.
