Our story began with a lifelong connection to the Orthodox community. From attending my first Orthodox baptism at the age of eight to sharing family ties with Athens, these traditions have held a special place in my life. With close connections to both Greece and Bulgaria, and frequent visits to each, they remain an important part of our story.
The inspiration for The Orthodox Baptism Company came from a conversation with a Bulgarian friend here in the UK. When preparing for her son’s baptism, she struggled to find the items she wanted and travelled back to Bulgaria to buy them. Her experience sparked an idea: to make it easier for Orthodox families in the UK to find thoughtful, beautiful items for such a meaningful occasion.
Our travels to Greece are also part of that journey. We source selected items during our visits, bringing a personal touch to our collection and helping families in the UK find meaningful pieces for their own baptism celebrations.
We want to welcome and represent the many Orthodox communities who call the UK home, celebrating their shared faith while respecting the traditions that make each community unique.
Our journey is only beginning. In the near future, we also hope to introduce our sister site, The Orthodox Wedding Company, extending that same care to another of life’s most treasured celebrations.
