Baptism Bracelet

The object I chose was the bracelet my godparents gave to me as a gift for doing my first sacrament, Holy Baptism. The bracelet is made from gold and has my written name on it with all capitals. I have always worn it on my wrist since I was 3 years old, and still wear it till this day. This bracelet is special to me because it reminds me of the memories from my Baptismal party and how all the people I loved got together to celebrate me entering the holy faith of Catholicism. It made me happy and how my family took me to church. They took videos and pictures of me as the priest poured water on my head to signify that I was starting a new life with Christ and getting freed from the original sins of Adam and Eve. Overall, I really do love this bracelet because it makes me think of the people, I love the most and my religion that guides my life.
