During baptism, blessed water and oil is used to anoint the child, and this needs to be wiped off after the ceremony, both for safety and hygienic purposes. The My Baptismal Day Linen Towel is the perfect item for this, and this is because this small piece of cloth is handy and very absorbent while being smooth and soft to the touch. Measuring 15-1/2 inches X 24 inches, this white linen towel has a decorative cross and the phrase My Baptism Day embroidered in white on one end. This small towel also has lacey ends, and hemmed borders for added durability.
