My little sisters "confirmation"







No idea if such a tradition exists in other countrys... but anyway, on pentecost my little sister Selina celebrated her "confirmation". In fact it is a sort of confirmation of her baptism and it means that she is now accepted as full member of the church, it is also kind of symbolic celebration for young people to enter the "world of adults". Thats the origin of this tradition at least. In most cases no a day it's first of all a reason to invite the whole family and to recieve a lot of gifts, especially a lot of money. In my confirmation I got library vouchers for about 300 swiss francs from all the neighbours and friends of my parents, I didn't even know. My sister got not that much because some of this neighbours died since. But anyway it was a really nice day and good oppurtunity to see friends and family and have a delicious meal in a very nice restaurant on the lake of Constance. So I put some pictures of myself, my parents, my brothers, of all the guests and of course of the main person of that day, my sister, who was a real beauty :-)

Nice photos - agree your sister is a real beauty - but I'm sure you are too. Whereabouts in La Suisse do you live?
