Either way the child was traumatized and the procedings should have ceased.
Ilia Semiletov has been suspended from his post with the Russian Orthodox Church over the violent baptism of the two-year-old girl.
Semiletov allegedly hit her head on the font during the baptism, a claim which both the church and the girl’s mother deny.
Although the unnamed girl’s parents did not register a complaint, her mother admitted the girl ‘cried because she was scared of the priest.’
She added she was ‘grateful’ to Semiletov for baptising her daughter.
One of Semiletov’s parishioners at St George’s Convent in Yessentuki said the priest told her that children and newborn babies must be ‘broken’ because ‘Satan is sitting inside them’.
