In the modern world, family traditions tend to change somewhat, but godparents in the Christian rite remain mandatory for a newborn. Relations between godparents and godchildren are now not so relevant, and the choice of kumas is not so responsible. Nevertheless, this relationship is not by blood, but by heart, which invariably affects the family structure and the cultivation of offspring.
How in the old days did you choose a godfather?
The rite of baptism is very ancient, dating back to the time of writing the Bible, so now the attitude of people towards it has changed, as modern people themselves have become different. But the church adheres to orthodox rules in this matter that future godparents need to know.
If we are talking about an Orthodox family, then Kuma or Kuma will be chosen according to the following rules:
- a person should be baptized in the Orthodox faith and not lead an immoral lifestyle;
- “Perceivers” are recognized by the church only upon reaching adulthood (although in ancient times the age limit for men was 15 years old, and for women - 13;
- for a child, you can choose a godfather of both sexes, but previously a single godmother of the same sex with a child was enough;
- spouses or people who have sex cannot simultaneously be godfathers;
- you can not choose the mentally ill, because of their lack of understanding of spiritual obligations and inadequate perception of the world;
- parents should never be godparents to their child.
In addition to these recommendations, there are moral aspects that must be respected by the godparents.
Spiritual postulates
That is why you can not choose unfamiliar people: you need to know well the person who will be appointed to such a responsible "position". Godfathers and mothers are second parents. Their functions are to educate and educate the godson, to help him with advice in a difficult situation. Following the church canons, the godfathers should honor Orthodox traditions, dedicating their godchildren to them. Godparents go through life with their designated child, directing and supporting him. You should not choose a godfather from the point of view of profit, seduced by a higher position of a vis-a-vis, and you should not try to please someone - this is a responsible choice for the benefit of your own child.
Based on this, the chosen godfather is an important person in the life of the family, so respecting her on her birthday is a pleasant duty.

Godmother - second mother,
Do not add, do not take away!

Congratulations we are loving
We give a package of sweets,
Paradise life up to a hundred years!
Presenting a glass of tea
So that you live, not bored!
There are gifts in the corner
For you on a happy day.
Be cheerful, cheeky, bright!
Joy drives away the shadow!
A more lyrical version will appeal to sensitive nature, loving romance and compliments.
We throw bouquets at your beautiful feet
You walk proudly dear to the petals.
You are the best of the godparents, you are gentle and loved,
We would have put together a song, but not enough words!
You succeeded in everything: in the family and at work,
Charm itself, the light of man's eyes!
Good, generous, everything about the neighbor is in cares,
Worthy of the most vivid and fiery speeches.
Today is a special day, gifts are coming,
Frozen in anticipation of trees and houses.
You are the best creature of nature!
We will say: "Happy Birthday, beloved godfather!"

Useful gifts
In addition to warm words and beautiful bouquets, one must take care of choosing something more tangible, that is, think not only about the soul, but also about the material aspect. In other words, you should choose a gift coume. If the godmother is a practical woman and alien to the lyrics, then useful presentations are perfect for her. It could be:
- high-quality bedding;
- service;
- beautiful kitchen utensils;
- unusual culinary delights: golden honey, a set of exclusive olive oils;
- technical innovations: bread machine, slow cooker and others.
In addition, it’s nice to present a kuma that loves cooking, an apron with a funny inscription or a leather-bound book called The Whole Truth About Kuma. This will add a touch of humor and fun, so necessary on your birthday.
It is nice to surprise Kuma with originality and give something that she is unlikely to buy for herself: flying in a balloon, traveling by boat or boat.
If the godmother is a person with creative potential, then she will definitely appreciate designer things: watches, paintings, panels, original portraits, decorative chests that can be used as bars, figurines. Also a great solution would be to buy theater tickets.
If Kuma is an advanced driver, then she urgently needs car accessories and modern gadgets like a recorder or navigator. A pleasant surprise will be an invitation to extreme driving courses.
A collective celebration, where Kume congratulations are especially remembered, can be held in the sauna or bowling club.
A wonderful gift are indoor plants, especially beautifully flowering. A popular gift will be a garden under glass or an artificial fireplace.
Share jokes
Congratulations and wishes to Kume can be fixed with healthy and high-quality humor. There are funny gifts that will appeal not only to the godmother, but also to the guests. For example, a bottle of alcohol, which personally broadcasts the first toast, or the playful decree of Tsar Peter. The jar with the inscription “Greens” will amuse the party for the storage of banknotes, the original cover on the driver’s license with the engraving “Let me go, I won’t!”.
The bouquet will complement the gifts, created by the caring hands of florists, and possibly even designers.
Congratulations to the kume, said with a soul, as well as purchased gifts will please not only the birthday girl, but also the giver.
