Presentaion of 3-year-olds

This tradition comes from a time in life when access to pediatrics was rare, and many children died because of various illnesses before their third birthday. The presentation of 3-year-olds is a moment to give thanks to God for the child's life. The child is welcome back into the Christian community, and the baptismal promises are reaffirmed.
