I want to find a godfather and godmother for my child. Is there anything particular about it?

When recognizing a godfather and godmother, it is better to check whether the horoscopes of both parties are consistent before recognizing the godmother. If you recognize the godmother, it will be mutually beneficial and better for both parties. There is no harm in recognizing the godmother. If it is a hindrance to each other, then it is better not to admit it.

According to traditional folk customs, there are certain procedures for recognizing godfathers and godmothers as brothers and sisters: before "recognizing godmothers", both parties must exchange birth dates, and then ask someone to calculate the number of children and godfathers. Or whether the numerology of the godmother and the godmother are compatible, then choose an auspicious day, the parents prepare gifts for the child, and the family dresses up and goes to the godfather or godmother's home.

At auspicious times, light incense candles, pray to the gods, invite the godfather or godmother to sit down, and the children will kneel down and offer tea and toasts. If it is still a baby, the mother will hold it and bow to the godfather or godmother. The godfather or godmother should give red envelopes or gifts to the child, and use new bowls and chopsticks to treat the godfather's family to a meal, which symbolizes that he also has the same responsibility for raising the godchildren.

When a child celebrates his or her birthday before becoming an adult, the godfather or godmother will bring birthday gifts to celebrate. In some places, it is popular for the child and his family to bring gifts to the godfather or godmother’s house to celebrate the birthday; When the godfather or godmother dies, the godchildren have to go to their godfather's or godmother's house to visit and give gifts. After the death of their godfather or godmother, the godchildren also need to kneel down before their godfather's soul and observe their filial piety.
