This book looks at how people from the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths welcome a new-born baby into the world, including naming ceremonies, casting horoscopes, giving gifts, and saying special prayers and blessings. You can find out about some very special birthdays; how a Sikh baby’s name is chosen from the sacred text; why a Muslim baby’s hair is shaven off; why a Jewish father buys his son back from the synagogue, and much more.
