Looks like Grier Hammond may have been christened on Friday. The 7-month-old and her parents Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy were spotted leaving St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, with Grier wearing a long white dress and bonnet.

Question: What´s the difference between Baptism and Christening? I thought it was the same.
Sarah, CBB News Editor on
They’re the same, I just googled. I’ll change the post. Thanks.

Hate to be picky, but please re-do the sentence above. You have it stating: ‘The 7 mo. old and her parents were spotting leaving…wearing a long white dress and a bonnet.
This means that all three of them were wearing the long white dress and bonnet.
Grier was wearing the long dress and bonnet, obviously.
Sorry, but it sounds weird the way it was written.
I grew up Catholic and we called it being baptized. My husband grew up Protestant and he calls it christening. It is the same thing though.

I believe the baptism took place at OLD St. Patrick’s Cathedral (which is on Mulberry St. in downtown NYC). That’s what I heard on the news (and the photo looks like the outside of that church).
