   Ensure you are eligible to receive a copy of the baptismal record. Churches will only provide copies of baptismal records to the person baptized or their parents or guardians of that person. If you are not one of these parties, you will likely not be able to receive a copy of a baptismal record.

   • Be sure you or your child actually was baptized. Some people simply assume that they were because they were too young to remember the event.
   • You will need to provide proof of your identity and your relationship to the baptized person in order to receive a copy of the baptismal record.

   Gather all pertinent information about your or your child. The identification the church or higher office may require can vary significantly depending on the policies they follow. Obtain any forms of identification you may need to verify you or your child’s identify as well to justify any name changes.

   • You will need to provide evidence of a name change such as a marriage certificate or a name change certificate from the social security office if you or your child’s name do not match the name listed on the baptismal record.
   • If your child is adopted you will need to provide proof of the adoption in the form of adoption papers.

   Try a genealogy website. If you are trying to find a baptismal record for a family member that passed away some time ago, you may be able to find it on a website that specializes in genealogy and documentation.^[2]
   

   • Websites like Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com may contain copies of the baptismal record if they have been uploaded by other members of your extended family or someone that knew that family member personally.
   • If the baptism took place in a country outside the United States, they may have uploaded their baptismal records to an online database.^[3]

   Locate the church the baptism was conducted at. Many churches retain records of the baptisms that were conducted within their walls. You may be able to have them provide you a copy of your or your child’s baptismal record directly.^[4]
   

   • Some churches may no longer retain copies of baptismal records from many years ago due to space restrictions.
   • Some churches submit their records to a centralized record keeping location.
   • Church officials may be able to direct you to the correct place to request a copy of your or your child’s certificate.

   Identify the parent parish to the church. In many cases, churches submit their documents to a parent parish to be printed in large volumes called Baptism Registers. If your church was a small “branch” church, the parent parish probably retains records on their behalf.^[5]
   

   • Some churches retain their own records as well as submitting them to a parent parish for inclusion in the Baptismal Register.
   • Churches do not usually maintain baptism databases so you will need to know the exact date of the baptism in order to make finding it possible.

   Contact the Diocese the church was located in if it has since closed. You may find that the church the baptism was conducted at has since closed. In these cases, records are transferred from the church to the next highest authority for that religion in the area.^[6]
   

   • Use the internet to find out what Diocese or alternate authority the church fell under before it closed.
   • Contact that authority to request a copy of the baptismal record.

   Gather witnesses. If there is no record of the baptism being performed but you are certain that it was, some churches may provide you with a replacement document if you can successful prove that the baptism took place.^[7]
   

   • Many churches will accept witness testimonies in the form of legal affidavits testifying that the witnesses were physically present at the baptism.
   • You usually need to provide affidavits from at least two witnesses in order to be considered valid.

   Submit a formal request. Variances in how you can request a replacement copy of a baptismal record are as numerous as the governing bodies that may issue one. Policies vary based on religion, region, and even from church to church.^[8]
   

   • You may be required to fill out documentation justifying the need for a replacement document to be produced.
   • You may need to provide evidence that you are a member of the church you are requesting the document from.

   Make changes to the baptismal record. Many churches will not permit you to make any changes to the information recorded on the baptismal record, but some permit alterations based on the situation and necessity.^[9]
   

   • Godparents cannot usually be changed after the baptism.
   • Name changes may be permitted on the form if the name was changed for a reason the church deems legitimate for the purposes of recreating a baptismal record.

Did this summary help you?

Лишним это мероприятие не будет.Существует масса поверий, суеверий, просто личных людских предпочтений.О чем мы знаем, чего не знаем, что-то делаем просто на интуитивном уроне и оказывается потом, ого, это хорошо сделал, правильно.

Я раньше считала, что крещенскую воду можно “добыть” исключительно в церкви, да чтобы батюшка осветил.Потом одна набожная женщина сказала, что в ночь на крещенье вся вода становится святой, даже из под крана.

Кто-то обязательно купается в проруби, и не обязательно освященной.Кто-то запасается святой Крещенской водой на целый год.И считается, что эта вода обладает целебной силой и помогает от всех недугов.

Если есть желание окропить Крещенской водой дом, животных, то сделайте.Вреда от этого действия точно не будет.

Мода на купание в Крещенской купели влечет за собой много предрассудков.

Кто-то считает, что искупавшись в ледяной воде, грешник смывает с себя все грехи. Уж больно легко хотим избавиться от груза, накопившегося за жизнь!!!

В прорубь окунаются и пьяные, и тяжело больные, и все, кто поддается модным веяниям. В итоге около Иордани дежурит Скорая помощь…

Думаю, что для начала нужно определиться, а что я хочу получить от этого действа? Прощение греха, исцеление, доказать спор с кем-то, выполнить обещание или просто так захотелось?

Мне все это видится так, чтобы больному человеку лезть в ледяную воду, нужно иметь такую степень веры!!!! Особенно когда касается ослабленного или вообще , остутствующего иммунитета у организма.

А наша вера, как в молитве: ” Господи, верую. Помоги моему неверию”. Поэтому гораздо разумнее веру свою Богу доказать молитвами, постом, добрыми делами, а не экстримом. И просить , и каяться, и добавлять, что пусть будет не так, как мы хотим, но как Ты.

Все зависит от степени внутреннего состояния . Есть , конечно, случаи исцеления , но они ” по Вере нашей да будут нам”.

Отсюда и ответ. Если вера сильна, то можно и больному с таким заболеванием окунуться в Крещенье в Иордань.

Если куча сомнений, страха, то лучше остаться на берегу.

В Евангелие много примеров, когда по Вере было и исцеление, и спасение.

Женщина, страдавшая кровотечением, веруя прикоснулась и исцелилась.

И там же Апостол Петр, сначала пошел по морю, навстречу Иисусу, но усомнившись , стал тонуть.

Самое популярное место для купания на Крещение в Ярославле традиционно находится на Петропавловских прудах, это возле храма Петра и Павла. Сюда, как правило, приходят, сотни людей, и для купания оборудованы удобные спуски и раздевалка.

Есть еще несколько мест, где можно окунуться.
